Please run this from IE and Netscape.  It works fine.
Some Javascript commands fail to run on Firefox.  I added the details in the
next field.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
On Mozila, you find these problems:
1) Click "send form" and javascript fails to run empty form checking.
   It works on IE and Netscape on XP.
2) Click yes on "*Are you entitled to this training?".
   PO number should become non-required field. (works on IE and Netscape on XP)
   It fails on Firefox on XP.
3) Write something for company name and address fields.
   Click, Yes for " Is the company information for machine installation as same
as the above?" question.  The following address fields autopopulate on IE and
Netscape.  It doesn't on Firefox.

Actual Results:  
Lack of response from the Javascript.
Failure to run Javascript for form field checking.

Expected Results:  
Please run the "Steps to Reproduce" on IE and Netscape on XP.
What you see from Netscape and IE is what I want to happen on Firefox.

I see the same problem on Safari on OS.X.

I am not that interested in making the HP website compatible with OS.X right now
because this form is for Business to Business transactions and I expect all
business clients run XP.  But, I'd like Firefox to work on XP... especially
because much of the people I know from companies are starting to use Firefox on XP.

Not a security exploit, clearing confidential flag

The first problem that pops out is that the page uses the non-standard
document.all feature (which explains why Safari also fails). No released version
of Netscape has ever supported document.all. The Beta for the future "Netscape
8" has a 'view using IE' mode that will of course support the IE feature.

You should be seeking help in user support groups, not filing bugs.

I have removed all "document.all" and the problem still happened.

I have debugged it further where when I run through index 1-7 of the following 
array, I don't see the javascript error.  When I add index 8 (for PO Number) 
then the javascript breaks.
		e1 = new Array(19);
		e2 = new Array(19);
It still is a mistery bug for me because I don't see this problem on Netscape 
and IE.  My managers say that if it works on Netscape and IE on XP, they'd 
prefere to keep the code.

If you don't have the time to work on this bug then I wouldn't reopen it 
again.  Thanks for your time and I appologize for not narrowing down the 
problem earlier.

Is this still a valid bug? Try to confirm it with a nightly build
http://www.mozilla.org/developer and report back whether this issue is still
pertinent.

Otherwise, this bug will be marked INVALID for for inactivity in excess of 60
days (pre-1.0.4). I am self-assigning to track this bug and will reassign to
original owner if this bug is still valid.
