I don't know what the term is but this menu won't (refresh,reload,reset) with netscape. When you click on a link then go to that page then go back the form stays at the same selection. Works fine with explorer.

Vinny you answered a previous question I had with this script at another board. So decided to move over here where you are a moderator.
Thanks Again

Hi kc,

I hate to tell you this -- but if the link is supposed to show me a working script with options in the selection box -- it doesn't -- at least not for aol, nor netscape.
At any rate you could try:

<body....onLoad='document.formname.reset()'>

if that doesn't work, you'll have to put a no-cache in your meta tags. don't remember it offhand, but it's here somewhere on this board or the old ones. I'll look for it and post it if I can find it. If not, either I or someone else will put it up. (The people here are pretty good about that.)

Boy I don't know why that link doesn't link for you? Works from my end with aol & netscape. The links in the buy and rent should be ok. That said, added this <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> and so far it seems to work. http://members.aol.com/bcpetsupply/test6.html

Hi kc,

glad the tag worked out. Re the links: must have been tired. I saw the empty images, but didn't bother clicking on them. Assumed they were separate from the selection list.
