Recently, I had a IDX client mention a script error. For the life of me, I could not find the error. I tested in Mozilla Firefox 2x and IE7. I traced it down to the customer had IE6 as a browser. Apparently, there's a wierd bug that flags object expected error if you have underscores in your field id. Thus, the below line flags an error. document.getElementById('f_sort').value = 'price'; but this one does not. document.getElementById('fsort').value = 'price'; This was used recently to change the sort order, along with document.form_id.submit(); and return false;. Anyhow, I hope you find this useful in your IDX implementation.
