Hi

It looks as if you've hit a classic difference between the Document Object Models (DOMs) in IE and Netscape.

I think you need to modify your code slightly in MM_validateForm to run different assignment code depending on browser - e.g.

if ( navigator.appName.lastIndexOf("Netscape&quot

!= -1 ) // i.e. using Netscape
{
depth_from=parseFloat(document.myForm.depth_from.value),
depth_to=parseFloat(document.myForm.depth_to.value);
} else //using IE
{
depth_from=parseFloat(myForm.depth_from.value),
depth_to=parseFloat(myForm.depth_to.value);
}

Hope this helps!

Regards
Pete
