Netscape troubles

I have some seemingly innoscent looking code that goes as follows:

Quote:

<SELECT NAME="calzone_options" onChange="OnChange(this);">

<option value="no" selected>calzone options</option>
<option value="90">Calzone</option>
<option value="91">Calzone Kiev</option>

</select>

This runs fine in IE5.5, but simply prints "calzone optionsCalzoneCalzoneKiev" in the newest Netscape.

I have tried taking away the onChange event for testing purposes, and it still did the same thing.

I also tried adding the size tag with the same results.

If anyone knows what I am doing wrong, help would be appriciated.

Thanks

progressive's right about the <form></form> tags. Netscape requires you to have them. Any tags that the browser doesn't recognize aren't displayed and only the text would be output.

could you post the whole code?

not positive but take out the onchange() function and see if it will run. I seen this before and think that was it.

or rename the onchange. I don't think you can have a function name for the name of the function. if that makes since.

onChange=onChange ??

dude you have to have teh form tags. Progressive already told you this in teh first post. you don't have them.
this is what you have

Code:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <SELECT NAME="pizza_options" onChange="OnChange(this);"> <option value="no" selected>pizza options</option> <option value="2">Quatro Formaggi</option> <option value="1">Margherita </option> <option value="3">Proscuitto</option> <option value="4">Tropicana</option> <option value="5">Farmhouse

you have to have form tags.

Code:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> <form> <SELECT NAME="pizza_options" onChange="OnChange(this);"> <option value="no" selected>pizza options</option> <option value="2">Quatro Formaggi</option> <option value="1">Margherita </option> <option value="3">Proscuitto</option> <option value="4">Tropicana</option> <option value="5">Farmhouse

then on teh last line of your select just put </form>

That's what I figured it was. Netscape is very picky about it.
