I am using RC2 (2002051006).

Go to the following site:
http://www.coldwellbanker.com/GO.asp?layer=buyer&type=Prop

Fill out search form on left side.  I searched for all properties from $10,000
to $250,000 without selecting # of bedrooms or bathrooms.  I selected "All Markets".

Hit the continue button.

Enter city and state.  I entered Burlington, VT.

Hit the continue button.

Now, on the next screen, in Internet Explorer, the list box is populated with
the first item being "Choose all cities" and then four cities below that to
choose from.  In Mozilla, it seems the screen never fully loads.  The list box
just says "Choose All Cities" and below that it says "select region and county
first".  In Netscape 4.7, you can see the list box first populate with "select
region and county first" and then switch over to the full list of cities that
could be seen in Internet Explorer (version 5.5 by the way).

In both Netscape and Internet Explorer, the screen finishes loading, and you can
then in fact select cities and go on to the next screen to look at individual
real estate listings, but Mozilla never loads that page properly.  If you
highlight "Choose all cities" in Mozilla and press "Continue" the next screen
does come up, but it never populates, and Mozilla keeps throbbing.

problem is with the page script.  it checks for NN4.x (document.layers) and IE
(document.all), and then has code such as:
  if (isNN4) document.proptitle.document.write(T);
  if (isIE4) document.write(T);

so if the browser doesn't support either NN4 proprietary script, or IE
proprietary script, it doesn't work.

Coldwellbanker has rebuilt the site; GO.asp no longer exists.

New design seems to work for me. Please retest.

site doesn't exist anymore, but on the new site
http://www.coldwellbanker.com/request/CBDocument?QMLclass=InnerFrameViewer&silo=buyer&lpage=%2Frequest%2FCBDocument?QMLclass%3DFindProperty&rpage=%2Fpropertysearch.html
the search just works fine with a current Mozilla CVS trunk build.
