Summary: 'ident' form does not work in IE 5

Initial Comment:
When doing an identifier search, type into the form an 
identifier name. The resulting URL only 
contains 'ident?=whatever', which fails.

New versions of mozilla prepend the full URL to the 
lxr server and thus work correctly.

In the ident perl script line 40 (sub ident) that 
begins:

print("<form method=get action.............

the value of 'baseurl' from the lxr.conf file needs to 
be inserted. How to do this?

Possibly the web browser should insert the 'baseurl' 
string into the ident URL by itself but only the new 
versions of mozilla do this. Netscape 4.7 and IE do 
not do this. So for compatibility lxr should include 
the 'baseurl' in the html code for the form.

I'm not seeing this problem, using Netscape 4.7x on Linux or
Windows,  Mozilla on Windows and IE4 on Win32.  Has anyone
else seen this problem?

One thing to check would be whether the <base> attribute is
being properly set - it is output as part of each page in
the <head> section.  If not, then $baseurl is not set, which
would indicate a config file problem.
