Jim -

I'm taking a look at this now to see if I can come up with anything. Worst case scenario, you *can* do the document write trick, as I did with Iframes. Check that code under authoring/html/iframe. Let me know if that doesn't work.

: Client came up with a lastminute requirement just after the site went live -- wants to support WebTV!

: There are multiple uses of a Form Submit button as a rollover graphic button -- on the Brand Search (top frame), on the Item Page (Add to Bag, Add to Wish List), and in the Checkout Sequence.

: I've tried to do a browser detect: IF WebTV, doc.write( an ordinary HTML Form Submit Button for the same action) ELSE doc.write ( the rollover graphic Form Submit button)

: Failed!

: This is a large problem on this e-commerce site -- WebTV customers can't buy anything. I'm ready to recommend that we strip out all instances of Rollover Graphic Form Submits -- in favor of HTML Form Submits. But this will make the site a little bit uglier for the 98.5% of visitors who are visiting using 3.0+ browsers.

: Suggestions ??
