Run your page though validator.w3.org and see what errors it finds. Once all of those are fixed check the javascript you are using. It could be a problem anywhere in those. I would suggest you make sure it validates perfectly at html 4.01 transitional unless you want to xmlize stuff which netscape 4.x works fine with also. Often netscape doesn't do it becaues it isn't written right but most people don't know the spec so they think netscape is wrong.

This problem has come up before in various guises. I want to illustrate with a very simple example and ask if anyone

The symptom is that, when you POST a form from Netscape to Zope, you never get a response UNTIL you click the title bar of the sending browser window. If you do a GET, everything works fine. My current setup is this:
Windows 2000 Netscape 4.72 Zope 2.3.0
However, I've had this problem with earlier Zope versions and other Windows versions. The problem never happens with Internet Explorer. It also does not happen with Cold Fusion, just Zope. I don't know if it happens on other operating systems for either the client or the server.
Here's a very simple DTML page that causes the problem:
<html> <form action='plainpage' target='_new' method='post'> <input type='submit' onclick='submit()' value='Send It!'> </form> </html>
The "plainpage" target is just a default DTML document. Using "_new" as a target simply causes a new window to open wwith the action url, or it would if it worked right. Adding input fields to the form changes nothing, so I left them out of the example.
There are times I would like to POST, and I can't because many of my users run Netscape. I consider this a fairly serious bug.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Tom P
