I hate javascript. I really do. Someone has decided that it's essential that a certain select element on a certain page only appears when a certain option is selected in a certain other select element. It works in IE straight away. I can't get it to work in Netscape 4.75 at all, and I suspect that it may not be possible at all.

I had a similar problem with IE/Netscape compatibility with JavaScript. It bedevilled me no end until I started asking everyone I knew why it wasn't working. Finally, someone I knew told me that it's because the way that Netscape compiles the code in its pages differs from IE. IE reads and compiles a page and then executes the code. Netscape compiles and executes code line by line. So if you've got a variable that's defined before it's named (or something like that, I forget exactly) it just won't work.

Hope this helps!P
