I've been teaching myself PHP and decided to try some Google tool projects. The first one, a simple datacenter checker, is at http://www.seocritique.com/serptool/serplist.htm Enjoy, and please let me know if I missed any datacenters.
Thank's Will. You're right, I need to do something with those defaults. Right now there are actually no defaults set so Microsoft was what your browser's chose.
I think I figured it out Will. The default, right now, is the output of the php code for the results pages without the string variables. In other words it is a nonsense unworkable url. Within that nonsense url is the string IE which FireFox picks-up as a keyword for Internet Explorer. My copy of FireFox sends me to the IE7beta2 page. Internet Explorer just gives me blank white pages. Opera prints a Could not locate remote server message plus multiple popup error messages. I will be fixing this quirk soon.
