Re: javascript in IE or Mac

["Haas, Matt (CL Tech Sv)" <matt.haas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

Enter "javascript:" in the browser to open up the JavaScript console in FireFox. Safari also does some things differently than IE and FireFox. http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor14 will show you how to enable the same functionality in Safari.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] javascript in IE or Mac


I think that the problem is related to the code in the body - that the Mac
does not even try to run the SubmitForm function.   When I change SubmitForm
to xxxx as below, IE gives an error ("cant find xxxx) but the Mac still does
nothing

<script language="javascript">
>            xxxx('https://payflowlink.paypal.com')
> </script>

Maybe what you want is:

document.forms( "S1" ).action = Action;
document.forms( "S1" ).submit( );
