I have developed a web site that is a portal for examining messages recived from a number of remote monitoring units. I have an applet on each page that checks for new messages and gives a popup when one is recived.
This all works in firefox, but in internet explorer the popup causes all sorts of odd behaviour related to drop down boxes and buttons. When a drop down box that is set to auto submit on change is selected, it returns to the defult value when the page is reloaded. The values in text fields and drop down boxes are lost when the button is clicked.
If I remove the applet from the page the controls work as expected.
Is this is a known problem? Does anyone know a workaround? Any help apperitiated.
Thanks in advance,
Hugh
