ASP errors on Mac IE 5.1

[Diabolique]

I am trying to work out why a website that functions perfectly on a PC browser brings up an error problem on my Macintosh browser. I am trying to make a website that has been developed in ASP Mac friendly and everything works until it comes to the ordering mechanism on a page.

The site is www.amazingflygun.com. In testing, I select a country fom which the supposed order will come from, from a drop down list. I key in the amount of the product that I require and I get this error: Microsoft JScript runtime error Object expected
and the website then brings up this: An Error Occurred:
No Country Information Found. This does not occur on a PC browser.

HELP PLEASE!

I'm on a Mac right now, using IE 5.0. I can select the country, click "continue" and see prices for the various quantities. However, there's nothing for me to click on to select the quantity and move on.

I looked at your source code and didn't see anything that I, as a relative newbie, could pick up on. But I also didn't see any <a href=> tags for the prices. Isn't that what you want users to click on?

If you scroll down below the prices, there are boxes in which you key in quantities with a Continue button below that. The site was designed in frames, so you will not see the page code for the centre page.

Duh, I missed that. Yes, when I hit "continue," got an error message as you described. If I select the "continue to run the script" option, I get a message on your page that no country was found (or was it no country was selected?).

I wish I could help you. Maybe someone else will amble along who has a better idea.

Testing your site on www.netmechanic.com showed a bunch of html errors, but I can't imagine that has anything to do with the ASP code.

I think I have isolated the problem. I have opened up the error page in Dreamweaver and there is a bit of code that activates a popup box which says "processing transaction" that is not understood when I hit the Continue button. I have taken the button out and replaced it with another submit button, and taken the "processing transaction" box out which was on a layer. It seems to work on my local drive.. now for the acid test. Thank you for at least trying to help. ASP, being a Microsoft product does not have very many Mac fans.

I actually used to write ASP code on my Mac, and our Web site running on MS SQL Server, VBScript, and ASP worked fine on Macs.

That's probably because we avoided using too many JavaScript tricks. It's the client-side code that's trickier to make work across platforms and browsers. ASP itself should work fine.

Just my 2¢.

Much appreciated. I personally think there is nothing wrong ASP. Its more the Mac/PC browser interpretations that are causing the problems. Things work for 98% of the time. Its the other 2% that drives me nuts.

Problem still exists. What makes this even more tricky is that the site is designed in frames.
