The only Html errors I see is your form id & name are not enclosed in quotes
<form method="POST" action="tax_bill.asp" id=form2 name=tax_bill>
should be
<form method="POST" action="tax_bill.asp" id="form2" name="tax_bill">
And your tag in tax_bill.asp
<option value="<%=rslty("tax_yr")%>">"<%"=rslty("tax_yr")"%>"</option>
should be
<option value="<%=rslty("tax_yr")%>"><%=rslty("tax_yr")%></option>

| Stefan,
|
| Thanks. I am still getting the HTML validator error no doubt is the same
| problem for the MAC users even though the page displays OK in IE. I've placed
| the input statement variables in quotes (as well as the shorthand syntax).
| Still being a newbie at this, I've tried a lot of trial-n-error changes such
| as form id, form name, select name with no change in outcome.
|
| Continue to ask for your help by looking at the info below to see if you
| spot any immediate and obvious problem I'm overlooking. I've compared this
| section of code to other drop-down lists that pass the validator and MAC
| assess OK and do not see a major difference (one difference is the IF test on
| the tax_yr).
|
| Thanks
| Jim T.
