Q1466 Why when using a form input type of "text" is the onClick event handler ignored in Netscape?

It is not expected behavior and Netscape does not support it.

To do it anyway, you can use onFocus :

<input type="text" name="Country" size="50" onFocus="...">

Otherwise you need to capture the mouseup for the document and see if the event target is the field you need to have the mouse react to.
