I find that I periodically am plagued with "The document contains no
data" error messages for pages that very obviously do contain data.

I am curious to know just exactlywhat this message is REALLY
indicating.

A typical example:

I enter the url "http://images.googles.com/advanced/"

I type in a search

The search results page starts to load and then after 3 or 4 thumbnails
have loaded, the rest of the results show as broken jpeg icons.

If I click on any of the icons (completed or broken), I get the
"Document contains no data".

If I attempt to reload the page, I get "Document contains no data"

If I hit the back arrow to go back to the url
"http://images.googles.com/advanced/", I get "Document contains no
data".

So what does "Document contains no data" *REALLY* mean?

i think it means that the document contains no data... but i might be wrong
here....

Hmmmmm....seems to me that I wrote:
"..for pages that very obviously do contain data. "

Care to guess again........?

While I don't have a reason for your problem I had the problem too. I
stopped using IE
and the problem went away.

Thanks for your response.

Perhaps I should have added earlier that I am using Firefox v1.0.6 and
Win XP.

It is a problem that is encountered on the server due to going "back" to
a page that used cookies/cgi/etc... has to do with the header not
formatting the request right again after the selection on the previous
page was made and the "get" and "post" request of the server.

can also happen when a browser accesses the server and learns that the
desired page is accessible but cannot be loaded into your system due to
a transmission problem or server overload

After a little research I have found that the problem consistently
happens whenever I try to access Google News or Google Image search
from my home ISP. I never have the problem from my office.

As I mentioned, in both cases the pages starts to load. About half way
thru loading, the photos stop loading and the rest become broken jpg
icons. When I click on any link on the page, I get "Document contains
no data". If I try to reload the page, I get "Document contains no
data"

Is it possible that this is a sign that the ISP is trying to block
access to these sites?
(But if that were the case, why would the page load at all??)

Either way, are there any suggestions as to how to alleviate the
problem when I am operating from home?

Thanx!
