// Change History
// 3-3-96 code optimized, modularized, and made universal-abk
// 3-8-97 jumpPage1 and 2 consolidated into generalized func
// 3-10-97 changeMenu added jumpPage(0,0), for non-ns3 browsers
// make popup act like a live popup when no related functionality
// 8-5-97 browser detect script changed to check for option functionality
// 9-11-97 aln changed to options.length, as IE 4 does not support
// nulling out options
// 12-22-98 added SIZE att to make select lists, used named forms/elements
// 1-1-99 added getFormNum to fix netscape 2 bug (doesn't support named fms)
// pass formName, elementNum to relate and jmp as workaround
// pass this.form,0 and increment instead of decrement in relate to get
// next form
// assumes menu2 follows menu1 in HTML
// tested in mac ie3.01/ns2.02 (live), ns 3.01,4.05,4.5 and ie4.01 related
// 990204 - adopted a more modular/oo approach using two D arrays thanks
// to "Cyanide _7" <leo7278@hotmail.com> for his help
// 990211 relate2 works! no text - value for second dim array
// works! relate calls relate2 (using fromRelate kludge) for 3 related menus
// 990701 - bug fix in related select lists - click on second menu's list,
// get an error as there's no selected option in first menu in a list,
// one fix is default to selected first menu's option - abk
// 990701 - fixed back button bug in ie4+ by resetting all forms onload
// fromRelate var kludge eliminated, added to relate2 as param
// thanks to peter belesis (pbel@internet.com) for this fix
// 990714 - added IE5 persistence - abk pb
// 990715 - went open source, created stripped down example files - abk
// 990720 - jmp() fix getFormNum(formName);->
// var formNum = getFormNum(formName);
// if (v) {..} added around newCat array creation for old browsers
// 990721 - getFormNum/relate tweaks, unnec code removed,
// ns2.0 mac fix - getFormNum returns -1 in nested tables
// new jmp bypasses prob - thx to thanks to Michael Guitton
// saramaca@mail.dotcom.fr
// 990722 - var for scope added, jmp chgd to named form for ns2.02 bug-abk

// BACK BUTTON FIX for ie4+- or
// MEMORY-CACHE-STORING-ONLY-INDEX-AND-NOT-CONTENT
//
// from peter belesis:
// IE4+ remembers the index of each SELECT but NOT the CONTENTS of each
// SELECT, so it gets it wrong.
//
// it has to do with MEMORY CACHE (where form input is stored) and how
// IE stores information about SELECT menus.
//
// IE stores the selectedINDEX ONLY of the SELECT menu, not the
// CONTENTS-AT-THE-TIME-OF-SELECTION
//
// when we return to a page, it displays the default contents of each
// SELECT, grabs the stored index from cache and aligns the default
// contents to that index.
//
// Netscape, on the other hand, seems to remember both INDEX and CONTENTS
