REPORTER:

which build are you using? if is 20011128 please get a newer one (moz 0.9.7 or
NS 6.2.1) this was a bug before, but since jkeiser moved form submission to
content, this should work.

if is working with newer builds please close this bug with resolution WORKSFORME

thx

When will this be available in NS 6.2.1?  I just re-installed NS 6.2.1, and I 
got Mozilla 0.9.4.  In order for us to certify our application on NS 6, we will 
need this bug fix available in a downloadable NS 6 version and not just in 
Mozilla.

Also, is there a way to update the Mozilla version within NS 6?

Thanks.

I am using NS version 6.2.3 and I still see this bug.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020508 
Netscape6/6.2.3

Could you please tell me if there is a work-around for this bug for now, or if 
it has been fixed in 7.0.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Malory,

it was fixed/verified 2002-01-04, so it should be in. anyway, i recommend to
upgrade to 7.0 for a bunch of other fixes that went in since 6.2.3.

Alexandru,

This bug certainly exists on 6.2.3 cause I am currently using it.
Also, I have submitted another bug ID 179846, where the default selected values 
for a SELECT element are not accessible on the client side.
These could be related, But I'm really not too sure.

Also, could you please tell me for sure if both of these bug's are indeed fixed 
with 7.0

Thanks very much for your time.
Malory.

Malory,

I retested it under Netscape 7.0 and it was resolved.
