IE6 fixed constant problem?

[Keith (Southend)G]

I think it's javascript used on this site, but from the drop-dowm
menus I need to select year, month, date and time (Start & Finish) and
then a Country and repeat this for about 38 Countries. The problem is
each time I go back to select the next Country the year, month, date &
time revert back to a 24 hour 'window', that I don't want, how can I
get IE6 to fix these parameters?

You don't get this problem on Firefox but wanted to use IE6.

I'm sure there must be an option I can set/fix somewhere.

Many thanks

Hi,

When you press the Submit button on that page you will see IE open a new
window with

http://www.ogimet.com/display_synopsc.php?lang=en&estado=Spa&tipo=ALL&ord=REV&nil=SI&fmt=txt&ano=2009&mes=12&day=22&hora=20&anof=2009&mesf=12&dayf=23&horaf=20&send=send

in the address bar (this is called a Query string.... see the part that has
estado=Spa... this is specifying the country)

Now you don't have to go back to the web page to re-run the report with a
different country selection or date range.

On the report page place your cursor in the IE Address bar and change the
value of the estado parameter to the country you want (for the same date
range parameters)

Here is a list of (non-standard) country codes used on that page.

(Note: you can save your reports to be re-run at a later time by adding the
Address bar link to your favorites, or you will also see the modified Query
strings in your IE History lists.)

Why does it work on other browser and not IE6? IE6 is a Quirks browser. The
web site there is poorly designed and has not been coded for older browsers.
(Actually there are some terrible coding mistakes. I am surprised that IE6
does not completely choke on this rubbish).
