[thelist] Netscape 4.7 lies ! (what else is new?)

I have a server-side implementation of drop-down lists.  I depend on the
form to be submitted automatically when the drop-down list is changed
via this short client-side  JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">function
put(){document.forms[0].submit();}</script>

I examine request.form to see what event generated the form submit, and
in this case, I refresh the drop-down list and post the page back to the
user.

It works great in IE and other modern browsers.

In Netscape 4.X, the server-side string returned by (request.form) when
the drop-down is changed indicates incorrectly that the user has clicked
the SUBMIT button.

Submit=On-screen+Report&emailsearch=&firstnamesearch=&lastnamesearch=&in
activeusersearch=0

I can't discriminate this string from a real SUBMIT event.  Help !

Is this a known problem and does a fix exist?
