HTML <OPTION SELECTED> Doesn't work in Vista machine
OK - This is a strange problem and I've finally narrowed it down to Vista.
On my website I have state and country drop-down menues which do what they
are supposed to do on an XP machine. However on my Vista Ultimate machine
the <OPTION SELECTED> will select entirely different items when loaded. If
I run the following HTML on an XP machine it will correctly select Canada
and Washington as defaults in the 2 drop-down menus. However, when run on a
Vista machine it selects United States and Oregon . This is happening on all
of the screens in the web site where there are drop-down menus.

Re: HTML <OPTION SELECTED> Doesn't work in Vista machine
Hi Vic,
Are you using IE 7 on both machines? While I'm
probably not going to be any help to you, I imgine
that those who might would want to know this.

Hi Vic,
I can't see this being any difference between XP & Vista as much as the
configuration of the browsers used in both (assuming your using IE7 on
both). Have you double checked to verify that each of the browsers are
identically configured? Did you try installing Firefox on each machine
and see if the same thing happens?
Can you provide a link so others can verify it with Vista & XP?

Well, I will narrow it down even further: it does not work on IE7 on your
Vista machine
It works fine on mine- even with all of the deprecated and invalid code that
you have

Thanks Terry,
I am using IE7 on both machines but not the same build (Vista is later).
I could provide a link but you would need to register on the web site, so I
included an example of the HTM. This example fails on the Vista machine and
works on the XP machine. It does work with Firefox which says that it is
IE7. As far as I know IE7 is configured the same on each machine.

Mike, so what is all of the invalid and depracated code you refer to?
Other then the missing </OPTION> tags which doesn't make any difference
either way.
Although those groups are for named development tool, many ask general web
programming questions for various platforms.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Re: HTML <OPTION SELECTED> Doesn't work in Vista machine
Hi,
By no means I'm a programming expert (not even a developer), but many would
suggest you to use CSS especially for IE7. But it's up to one's choice.
Just to share and good luck.

Re: HTML <OPTION SELECTED> Doesn't work in Vista machine
Hi,
Another thought just came to my mind. Based on what you've said,
> On my website I have [...]
> If I run the following HTML on an XP machine it will correctly select
> Canada[...]
> However on my Vista Ultimate machine[...]
Is it your local site or remote site? If it's for your local site, are you
using IIS7 comes with Ultimate?
I know IIS7 acts differently than IIS5.x (Windows XP) and IIS6 (Server
2003). So if you are using IIS7 for testing local sites, you may want to
take that into considerations for the problem.
Just for your reference, we don't use client side IIS7 (Vista) at least
until the server side is being officially released and proven worth the
efforts.
But you may still wish to check those web development newsgroups.
Good luck.

My God, how in the heck do you associate the problem with the rendering of a
HTML controls and usage of the controls on the client side to a problem with
Vista?
If anything, it's a browser problem with using JavaScript or ASPScript
that's the problem that just happens to be running on the Vista O/S.
