Hi, Yes, the fix may work, however, I mentioned in an earlier post the way to solve this problem so that it doesn't rely on a fix.
The more resilient solution that works for all current (and future) browsers and is to put your javascript in an external .js Javascript file (for example, bremen.js) then call it with the "src" attribute in the script tag. <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="bremen.js"> </script> Using an external file has the added advantages that should you need to change the code then you only need do it in one place and, in a similar way, it reduces download times since the code is only downloaded once.
