Critter, Both Netscape and IE (windows versions) do NOT submit a 'form.submit=""' element when clicking on the select box and having the onclick"this.form.submit" submit the form.
That's way cool because multiple Submit buttons can be trapped for which of several in the form were clicked to submit it... (in the windows browsers anyway). In the example I gave there are four possible actions: 1. the select box was clicked 2. the DELETE button was clicked 3. the EDIT button was clicked 4. the ADD button was clicked When I first tied this I expected the string you suggested but nope... the form.field="submit" does not even exist... This is cool don't you think? Except the weird behavior in the mac browser. ..just read another response... gonna have to check out his suggestions too.
