reassign form values onsubmit (IE5 Mac)

[oliveto]

I've got a form that works great on all my needed browsers except IE 5 for MAC. I'd like it to work there as well.

The following code is executed upon form submission.

function concatPhones()
{
document.register.numbOffice_phone.value = ([document.register.numbOffice_phone.value] + [document.register.xOffice_Phone2.value] + [document.register.xOffice_Phone3.value]);
document.register.numbMobile_Phone.value = ([document.register.numbMobile_Phone.value] + [document.register.xMobile_Phone2.value] + [document.register.xMobile_Phone3.value]);
document.register.numbFax.value = ([document.register.numbFax.value] + [document.register.xFax2.value] + [document.register.xFax3.value]);
}

The form submits fine with no javascript errors that are visible, however the statements are not executed. How can I detect ie5/Mac and then reference these values for that browser?

Thanks for any help.

Try taking off the brackets and parenthesis. They aren't necessary, if I'm correct, the code should work fine without them.

Thanks for the input. Looks like I was chasing a ghost. I thought it was a Mac/IE5/javascript issue. Turns out my users just had javascript turned off and so it never ran. Thanks again anyways.

1) Always make sure that your site works without the JavaScript.

2) Yes, your script will work with or without those brackets, but the brackets maket the browser do a lot of extra work. The way you are using them, they indicate Array literals, each with one element. When you use the additive operator, "+", the browser has to call the method Array.toString() for each operand.
