Yariv,
EvalScript and externalEvent require the browser to support liveConnect, IE on the Mac 
does not support this and therefore these commands will fail in that browser (this is 
a MS imposed limitation, not a bug in SW). I've heard that same flavors of IE on the 
Mac have enabled this, but I'm not immediately certain of those facts so I hope 
someone here will speak up. Otherwise, IE-Mac and yer outta luck...

There are possible workarounds, one includes issuing a gotoNetPage command where the 
URL you provide is "javascript:someFunction()" or something similar, I believe that 
there's an article about this at www.director-online.com, but I'm unable to recall the 
URL right now.

Cheers,
Tom
