This one is kind of hard to explain but on my site I'm making a thing that has a textarea in a form in a cell in a table and all the links in he table have onMouseovers that will change the value of the textarea so that it will explain what the link goes too. Here's the problem , to link the onMouseOver to the form I need to do a onMouseOver="(form name).(control name).value='(text)'" . In Nav 4.5 and IE 5.0 it will interpret it corretly and change the value of the textarea to what i specify. But in mozilla build from June 17 (1999071708) I get an error that the value is not defined, which seems incorect. I also get the same error on 2.0 but I have not tried it in 3.0 . Anyway I'll attach the file so you can see it for yourself.
Attached file the html file with the problem (deleted) —
This may also be showing another separate table bug (?) . Notice how in 5.0 the text in the table is left alligned, but in ie 5.0 and netscape 4.5 it is center aligned as specified in the <tr> tag (<tr align="center" valign="middle") . So unless html 4.0 says that you need to specify this for each <td> tag then there may be a separate table bug.

wrong component -- this is event handling stuff.

You can't name a form element "links", it is a reserved JavaScript word. Rename it to pagelinks and everything works fine. resolved as invalid.
