Hi,
I am maintaing an application which uses perl as the web language. On Netscape 4.7 (not IE) if the Date text field is entered incorrectly, the alert box never disappears when you click OK. The htm coe generated by perl is similar to the below. When I run the pure html code on Netscapde, no problem at all. How to solve this problem? Thanks a lot
