When I use the Continental Airlines web site and search for flights, it rolls
over to their "advanced search" page.

Using that page, is no better. I hit submit and it loops back to that page
as if i had never typed in anything. Travelocity and Expidia work fine.
Is there an IE setting could be the issue? I even lowered the scecurity
settings to zero and turned off zonealarm. This didn't help

Have cleared hsitory, cookies, rebooted, checked microsoft updates,
rebooted, scanned for viruses and spyware, rebooted. Nothing has helped so
far. This didn't happen a few months ago.

I think you may need to do a packet trace to refine your symptom description
but you might get some clues from the Privacy Report (Alt-V,v).
E.g. I see some Cookies accepted there. More strangely I see some ads
which apparently are coming in via https: (perhaps to try to defeat ads
scraping).

Similarly a script debugger would show you exactly what role scripts
are playing at that site. However you could get some idea of that by
temporarily changing your Security settings to enable maximum prompting.
(E.g. wherever there is a setting which is currently Enabled make it a Prompt,
which I do by repeatedly pressing P and then Space if Enabled is green.)

One thing which looked a bit strange is that scripts kicked in when I tried
to respond to one of the prompts via the keyboard. So that suggests
the more actions you can do using your mouse instead of your keyboard
might produce better results.

A similar diagnostic can be obtained for Cookie use by setting Prompts
on the Privacy tab. The site does make quite a bit of use of Cookies
but, again, watching Cookie use via a packet trace seems easier.
