Blank select options on mac

G

Greg Walker

I have a bizarre, but easily tested problem. ANY select option containing
HTML encoded characters appear as blank lines for Mac IE 5.2. when the page
is served as an ASPX page. The EXACT SAME HTML, when served as either ASP
or HTML, appears correctly.

Server: DotNet 1.1 on XP Professional
Client: Mac OS 10.2.8 IE 5.2.2

To test: cut-paste following to a file under wwwroot (I called mine
"t1.html"):
====================================================
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META NAME="MS.LOCALE" CONTENT="EN-US" />
</head>
<body>
<form name=foo>
<select name=bar>
<option value="A">REG</option>
<option value="B">REG&reg;</option>
<option value="C">&reg;REG</option>
<option value="D"> SPACE</option>
<option value="E"> SPACE</option>
<option value="F">SPACE </option>
<option value="1">ROOT</option>
<option value="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NODE</option>
<option value="3">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEAF</option>
<option value="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEAF</option>
<option value="5">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NODE</option>
<option value="6">ROOT</option>
<option value="7">ROOT</option>
<option value="8">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NODE</option>
<option value="9">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LEAF</option>
</select>
</form>
</body></html>
==========================================================
Also create files "t1.aspx" and "t1.asp" with content of:
<!--#include file="t1.html"-->


View pages on mac: "t1.html", "t1.asp", "t1.aspx". The aspx will have blank
options in the dropdown.

If anyone has any solution for this thorny problem, please let me know! The
goal is the pseudo-hierarchy (root/node/leaf).
