Re: Problems with IE 4 not behaving with JavaScript
****** message to minivend-users from Barry Treahy <treahy@mmaz.com> ******
Hey all, I've nailed down the probem, but still don't know hot to fix it... The mv_click
is not being defined on the <INPUT> button tag when IE uses the submit() call....
Doesn't matter how, when where or why the submit() call is invoked, same problem.
How can I define mv_click as a static value for the entire page?
