Mac/PC compatibility with JS menu

[muppetgrrl]

I'm using a basic flyover menu (dl'ed from Gers Versluis) and trying to make it compatible on both Mac and PC. Because it's in a frameset, I want to be able to open some sites targeted to the top. It's simple to do in PCs, but Macs don't like any of the javascript. Is there a method I'm missing?

Here's an example of the array:

Menu2_1=new Array("Amsterdam","javascript:parent.location.replace('/offices/AMintranet/index.htm');",

On PCs, parent.location works fine, but on Macs, it doesn't go anywhere. I added "replace," but of course that adds the problem of losing the current page in the history, and people want their back button on IE to work.

Is there a method that's compatible for both Macs and PCs, or am I going to have to make two menus, with less functionality for Mac users?

Never mind--it turns out that the MAc wanted me to create my own function and call it; it wouldn't allow me to do it within the link. All repaired. For anyone else who's interested:

function sameBrowser(URL)	{
	parent.location = URL;
 }

Menu2_1=new Array("Amsterdam","javascript:sameBrowser('/offices/AMintranet/index.htm');"

So easy, it was nearly impossible to figure out.

Which browser on the Mac was having the problem? Surely not FF, Safari, IE, and ALL the Mac browsers available?

All the Mac browsers my company uses, yup! (Our standard is to use IE, so the others are moot, anyway.)
