Philip,
 
I wanna the code to work in Netscape 4.x as it works like IE


-----

The problem with NS4.7 is that it is an older browser and it does not use the W3C? standard, so you have to look up

1. to see if it even has a method that will work

2. Find the method and make sure the selection code
   (for which browser/version) works for your new
    section.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to spend looking these things up for other people, that's why there are books and on-line help groups. No one can be expected to know all this stuff. (I did spend some time looking and I haven't found anything.)

So, sorry Santosh but I'm not spending more time to see if NS4.7x even has a method that will work for you.

Now, that said I did try & run it in NS4.75 and I got the following error:
if(NS4){
XX:  objList.innerWidth = objList.innerWidth + strNewItemHTML(this.size,strObjName,this.Name,strCode,strDesc,strQty,strUnitDesc,strPrice,strGST,strTotal)	
	}

Line XX: objList has no properties. 
In your PayMate...js file. 

Good-luck, and if you can not find the correct methods to use for NS4.7 let me know and I'll send you an example of something else that I developed that uses temp cookies to update the page. I believe it is my help files: help22.htm & help0022.htm. These work in both NS6.0 and IE5.50 and I believe the temp-cookie idea can be made to work in NS4.7x.

Again, if you do find the correct methods for NS4.7 - 6.x please let me know them so in the future if anyone else asks I'll be able to help them quicker.
