combo click submits page on Mac OS

[intominds]

Hi,
I am facing a weird problem. I have an application running on windows 2003 server. It is an ASP applic hosted on IIS 6..On my ASP pages I have select boxes which define the search criteria for the reports.
I have tested the application on windows PC and I do not encounter an problems. But some of my clients testing this app are using a MAC computer running MAC OS . They are encountering a page submit when they click on the combo boxes on the search page.
Let me give you the sequence of events happening on the MAC computer
1> User logs in and click on the search link to get the search page.
2> Now the user clicks on on combo boxes to specify the search criteria. At this point the page does not submit. Now he clicks on the on the search button to submit the page and get the correct results.
3> The user then clicks the back button on the Browser(IE for Mac) and now when he clicks on any of the combo box, the page submits itself. This does not filter the output and user gets everything in the DB.

This does not happen on the windows PC. The page does not submit itself and only does on the button click. I do not have any change events for the combo boxes on the ASP page.
I have no idea whats happening.

Pls help

intominds,

This sounds like an Internet Explorer thing. Microsoft no longer has plans for Explorer for the Macintosh, so things have incrementally gotten worse for Mac users who favor IE. Do me a favor, and See if this happens with Firefox or Safari on an Apple computer. My guess is that those browsers will work as intended. Why people are sticking with IE on Macintosh (Which by the way was last updated in 1999) is beyond me. You may consider using a JavaScript to detect system and browser and warn those using IE under Macintosh.

If you sticky me with the address and explaination where the problem happens I will test it on the following browsers and share the results with you:

IE
Firefox
Safari
Opera

Thanks Zak,
I will ask my clients to use firefox. I hope this works. I really appreciate your help. Also let me ask my clients if I can pass on the IP address for the website to you. I still have not mapped it to a name.
I would be happy to pass it on to you if they give me a go-ahead.

Thanks again.
