event handling in Netscape and Mac

My website www.finehomemadesoap.com functions properly in IE, but not Netscape and Mac. I have condensed a basic structure in which function refreshNavBar() is not called, although the onload event does trigger, as evidenced by the display of "hello."

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Fine_Homemade_Soap</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script language="JScript" type="text/jscript">
    function refreshNavBar(){
        alert('hello from inside function');
    }
</script>

</head>
    <frameset rows="240,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0" onload="alert('hello');refreshNavBar()">
        <frame src="ShoppingCartEmpty.asp" name="leftBottomFrame" noresize>
        <frame src="thankyou.asp" name="rightBottomFrame">
    </frameset>
<noframes><body>
</body></noframes>
</html>

Thank you,

Hi there,

Other browsers don't understand JScript, but JavaScript. JScript is the name Microsoft gave to their implementation of JavaScript, and calling it by that name will only work in IE. Change the <script> tags to this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Cheers,

Imar
