i'm not so sure as the same problem exists with fire fox - i tried it after
i posted the question.

also, the same code works on a production server...just not on my
prototyping box. the only difference i can tell off-hand is that the
production server has php run as a module in apache while i'm running php as
cgi on my prototyping box.

any other ideas?
