SYMPTOMS
When you click a hyperlink or button in Internet Explorer for Macintosh, nothing may occur.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if all of the following conditions exist:
 * The site that you are visiting has redirected your browser a number of times by using a script-language-redirection command such as response.redirect.
 * The redirections are to locations in the same site.
 * The redirections have all occurred during the same Internet Explorer session.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
 * Visit another site, and then return to the site with redirections.
 * Quit and then restart Internet Explorer.
 * Use the server.transfer command instead of the response.redirect command.
