Form Fields and Macs

I created a simple form in FP 2003 that feeds into an Access database. The
form allows users to signup for our newsletter. I set up a script that
checks the first e-mail address field against the second e-mail address
field...other than that, it is a very simple form. I've heard from two
reporters that they cannot fill out the form on their macs. As soon as they
move from the first e-mail form field, it sends them back to the main page.
I'm sending a link to the page. Any ideas on how I can make this form
compatible with macs?

I suspect it is related to your image map at the top of the page
Move the <map name="FPMap0">....</map> code to the end of the page
Try removing the hotspot for
<area href="index.htm" shape="rect" coords="5, 0, 213, 99">

PS
validate your page
- you have some broken tags in the list on the left

Thanks Stefan. I made the changes and one of the Mac users reported the form
is now working. The other is still experiencing the same problem. Are you
aware of a problem with certain versions of Safari? I tried to find out the
version she is running but she isn't sure how to find that out. Thanks again!
 
The version number would be in the "About" option in the Help
menu.....that's normally where you find that type of info in any computer
application.

Thanks Andrew, we tried that but apparently Safari isn't a "normal" computer
application.
