Javascript form validation bug for Macinstoh user only!

Problem with a javascript unreadable in a Mac computer

[Me_Shiva]

Hi, i'm too depressed!(sorry for my very bad english)
I've a big big and surprising problem with a code thaht runn veri well on IE PC, who make a blank page in a Macintosh with IE and the same browser configuration.
Take a look.
function valForm(){
if (document.xmail.newsLetter.checked==true){
document.xmail.newsLetter.checked=false;
document.xmail.sendMeAMail[0].status='';
document.xmail.sendMeAMail[1].status='';
document.xmail.sendMeAMail[2].status='';

}
}
//-----------
xmail is the name of my form, sendMeAMail is a radio button, and newsLetter is a checkBox.
When i delete this code, the page can be viewed with a mac, but with this simple fragment code, the page is invisible.
Please? do you know this problem? anybody can halp me?
Thanks a lot if yes!

Nono... it was used only in that message...
i don't understand what is the problem...
if you want, you can take a look at that webadress:
<No URLs, thanks. See TOS [webmasterworld.com]>

From your page (which you shouldn't link to because it's against the TOS) it looks like the problem is that you have [0 ] instead of [0] as an index.

Doh! Ignore this answer - better one below

If you use comments tags, use two of them.
There's only the starting tag <!-- now. The Mac sees this as commenting out your whole page.

The value passed to the status property of a radio button should be a Boolean, true or false. Status, however, is an IE-only property. I would suggest you use the more universal checked property, to which status is a proprietary equivalent. Checked also takes a Boolean.
