and my reply is:
1. Are they the same browser and version?
2. You may have an error that the PC version allows but the Mac version
doesn't. If using javascript turn on error checking or check logs.
3. I would recommend that you place the page where it can be accessed
by everyone and mayby someone can test it and find the answer.

-------------------------------------------------------

I then submit the form to a perl page that gets the values using the
following code:

-------------------------------------------------------
$fromprice = $Request->QueryString("f romprice")->item;
$toprice = $Request->QueryString("t oprice")->item;
--------------------------------------------------------

I don't have any control over what browsers or which versions people use
on the website so I can't rely give any more information other than that
it only happens on macs and it only occurs when they choose the option
that submits a "0".
