Why won't Netscape do the intended in the following? IE is able to
render this page as intended. It is is a "self-posting" ASP form with a
JavaScript validation function: if the form fails the JavaScript
validation function, then the form should not post and an alert should
be issued as indicated below.
The *first* alert in the Validate function works in NS, but the rest of
the code does not and therefore I wonder about the way I am referencing
the controls...tried to experiment with this, as can be seen in the
rem'd out code. Tried to research in my books...
Thanks for any and all! Jules
