Global references to elements (was Re: onclick problem with netscape)

so i modified it to the below - it works in IE but not in netscape, any

input type="button" name="but" value="load"

Most browsers do not create global variables referencing named elements on
the page.

Your entire approach to this problem is fairly poor though, have a read of:
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/navmenu.html (as you don't want the
onchange bits, you can just delete that attribute entirely from the example
code).
