i have an asp aplication that populates a drop down list by pulling a recordset. once you choose a list item, you click a submit button to modify this particular element on another page. this next page has a form where you can modify all the elements related to this item.

on a pc platform, this system works perfectly; all the elements display just as they should in the "modify" screen. on a mac (i'm a web designer so i have to cover most os's) however (in any mac browser), none of the form elements that should be populated from the rs show up. when i do a view source, the elements are just empty. where ther is normally (on a pc) <option>hb293</option> there is just <option></option> on a mac. ???

any insight would be appreciated. thank you.

Are the options generated server side or client side? That is, are the select elements built in your ASP code or in Javascript in the browser?

they are generated by the asp script, server side, e.g...

<td><input type="text" name="insertProName" value="<%=rs("itemNumber")%>"></td>
