ie for mac

[merlyn2450]

I'm having issues with the IE 5.2 for Mac and I need some advice.

I have 2 frames. On the top frame, named nav, I am using ASP to populate 3 <select>'s. Each select is in its own form. When the page loads, &quot;nav&quot; has a single <select> with categories. On load the bottom frame, named view, points to an empty page (blank.asp).

When I select an item from the category <select>, I call the function submitCategories() -- like so:

<select name=&quot;category&quot; onChange=&quot;submitCategories()&quot;>

Herein lies the problem. My first task is to launch a page in the bottom frame with details about the category. Next, I send new data to the top frame to query the sub-categories.

The function looks like:

function submitCategories() {
document.forms.categoryFrm.action = 'a_rent6.asp';
document.forms.categoryFrm.target = 'view';
document.forms.categoryFrm.submit();
document.forms.categoryFrm.action = 'a_rent1.asp';
document.forms.categoryFrm.target = 'nav';
document.forms.categoryFrm.submit();
}

This function works properly in IE for Windows and Netscape, but not in IE for Mac. The function only submits the second time.

Any insight would be appreciated.

You may have to open a separate window to hold your code due to brain damage by Apple.

I have the benefit of using server-side scripting, so I may just submit what I can and then use body onLoad to do the rest..
