Why doesn't this work on Netscape 4.x & 6???
Here is the javascript page:

It works fine on IE but not with Netscape. The alert box is supposed to pop up.
I think it has something to do with the Browser Object Model but I'm not good enough to know how to fix it.

Well, I cheated and looked at your page at netmechanic.com and it says that 96% of all browsers, netscape and microsoft, do not support the "name" attribute of the span tag. I don't know much about it either but my guess is that is your problem.

Try using ID instead of name.

Yes, I've been experimenting with ID instead of name but I believe that Nets 4.x doesn't support it.

Hi,
1) NN4 does not support onclick for a selection list; the only valid event handler is onChange
2) NN4 does not support 'parentElement'
