Problem loading Servlets in Netscape

[Shravan Shashikant <s0...@unix.tamu.edu>]

Hi everybody,
  I am experiencing a peculiar problem.I have developed certain servlets
which run on a tomcat/win 2000 envt.They run perfectly well when called
from an IE browser but when called from Netscape,the html tags show up in
the browser as if having opened the html document in notepad.
 Any ideas whats happening?
TIA,
Shravan

Have you set the mime type for the document before you started to
output from the servlet?

something like
response.setContentType("text/html");
