Hi,
We need a solution for the following problem:
When drop down menus display on our site some of them just show a big
long list of what is in the menu rather than a drop down menu. You can
see an example if you view this page with Netscape 4  -
http://www.iseekgolf.com/reviews/equipment/products.php

Also on the same page if you try to search for soemthign in Option 1
(top left) then it doens;t work either and redirects to our error page
catcher. The search script is dead easy with just a PHPSELF and the
variables getting returned and put thru a SELECT query so I cannot see
why Option 1 doesn't work.....very weird!

I use OSX and all sorts of browsers plus Windoze and all browsers and
only get a problem in good ole Netscape 4!

I know it is probably a simple syntax fix but i cannot find anything
mentioned anywhere...I seem to remeber there being a problem with
brackets on some javascript with Netscape and drop down menus. Here is
the PHP code froma  line in the drop down menu -
echo "<tr><td><select name=\"catid\"
onChange=\"location.href='$PHPSELF?body=products&catid=' +
this.options[selectedIndex].value +
'&manid=$manid&orderid=$orderid&index=1&count=$revcount'\">";

Look forward to hearing from you soon..

Jason

You need to start a form tag before your pulldown,
and stop the form tag afterward.

IE lets you get away without doing this,
but Netscape does not.

Thansk mate....great help...didn't I feel stoopid! Also found that the
$PHPSELF should be $PHP_SELF for NS4 to know about it....

So all done and sorted!
