Safari (Mac) issue

[Marcia Gulesian]

document.getEle mentById("TextB ox1").setAttrib ute("value","mm/dd/yyyy")

works in Internet Explorer (Windows) but not in Safari (Mac). How can I
insert a string into a textbox in the Safari browser?

You should set the value property and not change the attribute:
document.getEle mentById("TextB ox1").value = ...
