please correct script : prob with onclick eventHandler 1

JeroenB · Apr 26, 2001

Hi,

I have the following problem; hope someone can solve it:
When you click on the "ok" button, a new html page should open (in the same frame); the choice of your <select> box determines which page should open...
Everything seems ok in IE, but not in NS.
Is someone familiar with this problem and knows how I can solve it?

Thanks in advance
JeroenB

Hi JeroenB,

it's just because you forget the "=" on the action of your form !! :

<form method="POST" name="items" action=""> and not <form method="POST" name="items" action"">

IE don't take care of that thing but NS's not the same ...
Hope this helps ...
