With a big price it won't work on diffrent browsers (not even between
diffrent versions of the same browser)

on AWeb put javascript to 'omnivorous' this makes it try to run all
javascript even if it doesn't support it.

You might also like to put the html mode to compatible
also use the options 'Show JavaScript Errors'
and 'Warn for suspect JavaScript'

IB and Voyager's JavaScript is pitiful (doubtful it's even up to 1.0
standard)
(voyager's fails whatever you try to do even if it is something very simple)

I used AWeb on a recent Javascript course and it was the only browser that
ran Javascript which
failed on Netscape and Explorer (and it had a lot better error reporting
than Explorer)

With kind regards,
