Beyond Frustrated with Buttons in Netscape

[Dollie]

While searching for some button help yesterday, I came across a post that was quite helpful, and I thought my problem was solved. WRONG!

I have created a simple search using Drumbeat 2000. It works beautifully in IE, but in Netscape the buttons aren't clickable! I put anchors on all of the buttons, and they worked great the first time. This morning, they don't work. I'm beginning to wonder if it's just me.

I have several other questions, but the buttons are the most important to take care of right now.

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS. The code is awfully long, and I can't locate the button within the code. If anyone needs to see it, please let me know and I will post the URL so the source code can be viewed! [sig]<p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]

Well, it will be almost impossible to help if we can't see the code. [sig]<p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br>[/sig]

Sorry, I was in a rush to get the 2nd note posted and didn't stop to think! Here's the link:

After a quick look at the code, nothing jumps out at me. However, I did notice a script at the end of the page that only gets called for IE. Could that be the cause?

Can you post a url to a working version of the page?

Dollie,
I haven't forgotten about you. I'm pretty busy right now, and although I've taken a quick look at your site, there's so many external files, that I haven't had the time for a thorough look. Hopefully this weekend.

Sorry, Dollie, this one's beyond me. [sig]<p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br>[/sig]

Yikes! I knew it! It's impossible to get a page that works in Internet Explorer to work as well in Netscape! I've tried using ASP with VB scripting, and ASP with java scripting.

You'd think with the W3 Consortium, more than one browser would go with the standards they're trying to set!

Thanks a ton anyway Nick, I really appreciate your looking at it! Now back to that cement wall I've been beating my head against....

its not impossible, but netscape requires more attention than ie. the code generated by drumbeat is very unconventional, and hard to debug.

By the way, you should be aware that if you use both javascript and vbscript in an asp page (server side), that the code may not be executed in the order you expect. All Javascript code will be run first, then vbscript, unless the code is inside a function.

just keep in mind, that netscape is much more restrictive, and not as easy to work around as IE. so make sure your code is very clean, and easy to read, and you'll be able to catch the little things that drives netscapes nuts (belive me, I hate it alot too, since I almost have to put in a couple hours extra to make sure it's netscape compatible, and I write in ASP) [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href=
