search error/invalid pointer?

I'm working w/ FMPro6 Trial, trying to get a rolodex working. I've encountered an odd problem where if I access my instant web published database using explorer 6.0, my search view always gives me an "error on page" message when I push the "start search" button, ie. when searching for a given name like Jackson (regardless of what web style I chose under sharing). I'm not certain how to find out more about the error; when I double click the lower left error message on the task bar, it reads:

Line: 1559

Char: 5

Error: Invalid pointer

Code: 0

URL: http://162.129.28.68/FMRes/FMPJS?-db=renal%5fdb.fp5&-format=searchcss.htm&-max=1&token.0=25&-mode=search&-lop=and&-view

However, when I open the database via Netscape 4.5, the form view appears unformatted (like "all fields (no layout)"), and the search view works fine: I can search my database with no problems.

Any ideas what is creating the error for Explorer and how I rectify the situation so it works in this newer browser in addition to my older one?

IWP requires style sheets and other wiz-bang technologies to operate that might not be in Netscape 4.5. Try v4.7.

One (or two) of the instant themes are compatible with older browsers, you might want to try that route first 9it's quick and reversible).
