I assume the main page is http://www.ietf.org/, and the subsequent page
is for instance 
	http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/search/?name=draft-ietf-dane-&rfcs=on&activeDrafts=on&search_submit=

-- that's where I end up if I use the "Internet-Drafts and RFCs Quick Search"
field pretty much in the middle of the www.ietf.org page.

Hm.  Can't reproduce with the assumptions I mention above, could you send
the actual URLs you see, for easier debugging?

Don't know yet, need more data to debug :-)
