Hhhmmm, I think you need to post some code for us to have a look...

Sorry for the delay.

It has more form objects than this, but they are more or less the same as the balance one shown.

This is what doesn't work in netscape,

<form name="ccform" action="">
<input type="text" name="balance" onblur="validbalance(this.value);" value="balance in here" />
<input type="button" name="Button" value="Calc" onclick="process();" />

But changing to, <form name="ccform">, works in everything, but the drawback is it's not valid markup without the action attribute.

Any ideas?

Hi huds, I changed your

onblur

and

onclick

events into simple

alert()

calls and it worked OK with

action=""

in FF 1.5, Mozila 1.6 and Netscape 4(!)

In fact it makes no difference (to me) whether the action attribute is present or not.

Not sure if you can try setting:

action="javascript:;"

...whether that is really necessary?

Is there a problem with the functions you call?! May need to see the complete form?

Thanks penders, I tried the action="javascript:;" but it still wouldn't work in netscape 8.1.

I think I'll just use a browser redirect on netscapes to a seperate version of the file without the action attribute.

Here's the full form, less table tags (i was in a hurry, hehe).

<form name="ccform" action="">
<div align="center">
<input type="text" name="balance" onblur="validbalance(this.value);" value="balance in here" />
</div>
<div align="center">
<select name="monthcc" >
<option value="1" selected>January</option>
<option value="2">February</option>
<option value="3">March</option>
<option value="4">April</option>
<option value="5">May</option>
<option value="6">June</option>
<option value="7">July</option>
<option value="8">August</option>
<option value="9">September</option>
<option value="10">October</option>
<option value="11">November</option>
<option value="12">December</option>
</select>
</div>
<div align="center">
<input type="text" name="yearcc" size="10" value="2010" onblur="validyear(this.value);" />
</div>
<div align="center">
<input type="text" name="payment" value="payment in here" onblur="validpayment(this.value);" />
</div>
<div align="center">
<input type="text" name="apr" onblur="validapr(this.value);" value="apr % in here" />
</div>
<div align="center">
<input type="text" name="payprot" onblur="validprot(this.value);" value="protection % in here" />
</div>
<div align="center">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- hide js
if (brname=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
document.write("<BUTTON name=\"test\" onClick=\"process();\"><IMG src=\"img/calc.gif\" alt=\"calculate now!\" width=\"41\" height=\"21\"></BUTTON>");
}
else
{
document.write("<input type=\"button\" name=\"Button\" value=\"Calc\" onClick=\"process();\">");
}
// end hide -->
</script>
</div>
<div align="center">
<textarea name="output" cols="100" class="results" rows="20"></textarea>
</div>
</form>

I've searched loads of topics on form attributes, bugs, etc, and still can't understand why it won't work on netscape.
Maybe you're right about the javascript being the problem, I'll check that next.

Cheers

Does a very simple example, like the following, still not work in Netscape 8.1 ....?

<form name="ccform" action=""> 
<input type="text" name="balance" onblur="alert(this.value);" value="balance in here"> 
<input type="button" name="Button" value="Calc" onclick="alert('process()');"> 
</form>

Do the alert boxes show?

That works fine in 8.1. Guess it's something to do with my javascript then.

Could it be because I'm trying to place the output results in another form object on the page?

It would be easier if I could show you the webpage, but I'm not sure about the rules for linking to sites on here.

Have you had a look yet at the Javascript Console in Netscape? ( Tools -> Javascript Console ) That should narrow down the problem rather quickly if it is a Javascript error.

Thank you both very much for the help. Checked the console and it turns out my js is a mess right enough.

I will have to use getElementById() instead of referencing id's in the global scope, apparently.

Another weekends work down the drain, oh well.
