My website, www.PluggedInns.com, went live earlier this year. Shortly thereafter, I became aware of the fact that it was not functioning properly in Mozilla and Safari. When a user selects a State in the first drop-down list, it should be populating the second drop-down list with the names of the Citites available in the selected State. This works just fine in IE and Opera, but not Mozilla and Safari.

I'm kind of in a bind. I recently learned that the site will be mentioned in Travel+Leisure magazine, probably in the issue released in September. I'm afraid that if a lot of visitors are using these "problem" browsers, I'll lose any chance of them returning. Additionally, the fellow who developed this site for me hasn't seemed to be interested in helping to resolve this issue.

I had thought of posting a question in the HTML, Javascript and CSS forum, but not being a developer myself, I wasn't even certain about how to go about asking the question properly. From what I have learned so far, it appears that the issue revolves around this bit of the code in the search subroutine:
------------
<input type="hidden" name="CitySource" value="<%SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT State,City FROM (SELECT State, City FROM Hotels) ORDER BY State, City"
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
Set rs = session("db_conn").execute(sql)
if (not rs is nothing) then i = 0 do until rs.eof if (i <> 0) then response.write("~")
end if
state = trim(rs("State")) city = trim(rs("city")) response.write(state &">"& city) i = i + 1
rs.movenext
loop
end if

set rs = Nothing %>">
---------------
I'm guessing that there is something missing in the "input" tag (if that's what it's called) that is preventing the automatic submission of the State, which triggers the display of the appropriate City names in the second drop-down list.

Any thoughts on resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Additionally, any other comments regarding the site as a whole are also welcome.

The code you posted is not what populates the drop-menu; here is the code from your site that tries to do that:

//jsf_FillSearchCity();

function jsf_FillSearchCity() {
var arrCity;
var strCity;
var strACity;
var sep = "~";
var sep2 = ">";

document.forms[0].SearchCity.length = 1;

strCity = new String(document.forms[0].CitySource.value);
//alert(document.forms[0].SearchState.options.value);

if (document.forms[0].SearchState.options.selectedIndex != 0){
arrCity = new Array();
arrCity = strCity.split(sep);
for (var i = 0; i <= arrCity.length; i++)
{
var arrACity = new Array();
strACity = new String(arrCity[i]);
arrACity = strACity.split(sep2);
if (arrACity[0] == document.forms[0].SearchState.options.value) {
document.forms[0].SearchCity.options[document.forms[0].SearchCity.options.length] = new Option(arrACity[1]);
}
}
}
}

Since you're not a developer, your best bet is to post this code, a link to your site, and a description of the problem you're having in the Hire a Programmer (http://forums.devshed.com/f57/s) forum.

The site itself couldn't be thoroughly reviewed, due to this issue with functionality (using Mozilla Firebird).

Alright. I've taken a look at it w/ MSIE.

The content of the site is extremely narrow - essentially, there is a list of hotels (supposedly) with broadband available for each State and City listed on the site.

Having a site with a single purpose is not necessarily a bad thing. However, the disclaimer on the homepage is a bit disconcerting -
"The information in this site has been collected from a variety of resources and has not yet been widely verified."
If your site's only purpose is to provide listings of hotels that have broadband, but you're not actually sure if the hotels on your site have broadband, then as a user, the sole reason that I have to visit your site is essentially bunk.

Not exactly a huge consummer confidence booster.
