First time in IE the below function returns  false:

function selSAN(){
     
     for(i=0; i < document.main.selectSAN.length ; i++)
     {
          if (document.main.selectSAN.options[i].selected ==  true)
          return true;    
     }
     return false;
}

change this:
   for(i=0; i < document.main.selectSAN.length ; i++)

to this:
   for( i=0; i < document.main.selectSAN.options.length; i++)

Use onChange instead of onClick.
Like this:

               <select name="selectFabric" class="mysanTitles" size=3 multiple onChange="manageFAB();" disabled>

I do also not see a reason for MULTIPLE selections.

or better, just remove the for-loop and do this:

function selSAN(){
     return document.main.selectSAN.selectedIndex >= 0;
}

kEk recomandation can be extended to this:

function manageSAN(){
//    if (selSAN() == true) {
     document.main.selectFabric.disabled = false;
     document.getElementById("grey01").style.color = "#000000";
//     }
 return true;
}

Because there is NO selected which is ignored, so why check?

Thanks for points.

But why did you not make a split?
Two experts helped you.

If you want, then the split can still be made.

Actually I didn't split because their solution didn't solve my problem all the way. I still had issues after trying theirs. Also knightEknight proposed solutions didn't work at all for me???

Ok, it's your decision.
But I still think that his checking simplification will help you (if you want to use it).

no worries Z, all I did was make some quick syntactical observations.  We were both posting fast, and before I actually began to analyze the problem I saw your onclick-to-onchange suggestion and realized I need not go on.

It's ok. Me too, when I first saw the onClick I did not look futher for the unnecessary loop.
