I am ussing css2 and I have some browser compatibilty issues. In IE everything seems to be workign fine but in netscape I have some issues. With regards to my drop down list it does not refresh the item. Here is an example, in the drop down there are 4 items - apples, oranges, plums and peaches. if u choose peach, it goes to the page specific to peach, if u go to the drop down and select apple it will go to the page specific to apple. if u hit the back button the page goes back to the peach page but apple is shown in the drop down. How do I fix this?

Is this drop-down part of a form?

Are you using script so that merely selecting the item submits the form, or do you have a 'Submit' button that the user clicks after selecting the item in the drop-down?

It is in a form and there is no submit button. As soon as the drop down box shows the slected items and the item is slected it automatically goes to the page.

1. IMHO this is pretty bad form as far as accessibility is concerned; plenty of users have some or all scripting disabled, can't you add a 'submit' button?

2. Could you post a snippet of the script you're using? Perhaps it's not 100% browser compatible. Where did you get it?

I could post a snippet but it won't do much good since I am using css and this jsp calls other jsps. It def is a compatibilty issue. I have searched online for days but can't find this anywhere. Because of the way the specs are I can't add submit button. It's not a refresh issue becase if u hot refresh it is still on the rong name. The page is fine and the info is accurate but the name in the drop down box is incorrect. if u have any type of info on this matter or anything to do with css2 with drop downs and netscape let me know. Thanks.
