function not defined in Netscape 1

[shmmeee]

I'm testing a page in netscape which works perfectly in IE. When I call a function in an onClick I get a javascript error saying "get_defn is not defined", this only happens in Netscape can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Here's the function that's called:

function get_defn(term_string)
{
	if(navigator.appVersion!="Netscape")
		IE_func(term_string);
        else{
		alert("Netscape");
                window.onerror = NSundefined_term;
		var defn_string = eval(term_string.replace(/ /g,"_").toUpperCase());
		defn_array = defn_string.split("=");
		document.form1.output.value = defn_array[0]; 
	}
}

And here's how it's called:

<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;B1&quot; value=&quot;Search!&quot; onclick=&quot;javascript:get_defn(document.form1.searchtext.value); write_link(); return false;&quot;>

I heard somewhere that NN has a problem with underscores in function (and possibly other) names. Try changing the function name to GetDefn and see if that works.

That's worked. X-)
Wierd that, is it the same in NN6?

I don't know about NN6. I rarely use NN anyway, except to see how my page look in the "other" browser (and then I use NN4.7). I only found out about the underscore problem because one of the people from Tek-Tips sent me an email and mentioned it. I wish I could remember for sure who it was, I'd like to give him/her credit for a very useful piece of information. Tracy Dryden
