/Edit: Please read my second post. Thanks.

Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm getting a ton of "jg is not defined" errors in the JS console in FF.

Have you tried just setting onMouseDown="alert('onmousedown!')"? This will at least tell if you the onMouseDown event is working, which it should.

I usually just put alerts everywhere so I can see how far my script is able to execute. Put another one at the top of your pressSelect function to see if the function is ever even called.

OK, I cleaned it up a bit, you won't get those errors anymore.

I also simplified the js, it's just alerts now, and it's all inline. Both the top two buttons work in IE, but only the the second one works in FF... the only difference between them is that #1 is onMouseDown while #2 is onClick...

I'm pulling my hair out here.

I just realized that you're putting the onMouse events on the img tag. Try doing this:

<a onMouseDown="alert("hi")"><img src="bla"></a>

use "onmousedown" and "onclick" not "onMouseDown" and "onClick". They're not capitalized.

Thanks guys, but I made both changes to the code, and there's no change in behaviour. I should be able to figure this out myself, It's such a simple thing :roll:

You also seem to be missing a lot of closing tags. For example, I don't see a closing /table tag after those buttons. None of the rows are properly closed with a /tr tag. Instead, you have lots of extra tr tags. Clean that stuff up first. Your doctype is set to HTML 4.01 Transitional but your code has tons of warnings. I've found that I can get really weird behavior when I have stuff like that in my code.
