Hi,

is there any way to make IB recognize MS IE 4 as Netscape 4?

Reason: AFAIK does IB generate different Code for the different browsers.
The code for MS IE 4 is IMO sometimes wrong.
Example:I have two listboxes on the form. Every time when I click on
listbox1, I want to react and set listbox2 to an appropriate value:

   function listbox1_onChange()
   {
      document.forms[0].listbox2.selectedIndex =
document.forms[0].listbox1.selectedIndex;
   }

Now IB generates something like:
[...]
 <td rowspan=11 valign=top width=208 height=216 colspan=2><select
name="listbox1" size= 16>
<optionOption 1
<option>Option 2
<option>Option 3
</select></td>
[...]
<script language="JavaScript" in="IntraBuilder" for="listbox1"
event="onChange">
<!--
   {
      document.forms[0].listbox2.selectedIndex =
document.forms[0].listbox1.selectedIndex;
   }

//-->
</script>
[...]

This does not work.
With Netscape the code looks like:
[...]
<body bgcolor="ffffff" background="/ibapps/shdbpio/SHDBPIO_BACK.GIF">
<script language = "JavaScript">

<!--
   function listbox1_onChange()
   {
      document.forms[0].listbox2.selectedIndex =
document.forms[0].listbox1.selectedIndex;
   }
//-->
[...]
</td>
        <td rowspan=11 valign=top width=208 height=216 colspan=2><select
name="listbox1" size= 12  onChange="this.listbox1_onChange()">
<optionOption 1
<option>Option 2
<option>Option 3
</select> <script = javascript>

 document.forms[0].cmbDataE.cmbDataE_onChange=cmbDataE_onChange

</script></td>
[...]

The Netscape code does work with Netscape AND MS IE 4.

Any help appreciated

THX

I have the same problem IE4 not recognising client-side JavaScript and
I noticed the different HTML as well. I am eager to know the solution.

I, too, am having this difficulty.  We are currently trying to migrate
our
systems to IE4.0 and would be very appreciative for the solution to this

puzzle...

  with (this.form)
  {
    target="_self"; // Output to current frame
    ............
    // some actions
    ............
    elements[1].value = "-1"; // Force Agent to accept reposted form
    submit(); // Post the form
  }

This works
