I think I didn't explain correctly; It does not appear on the page(IE 6) as it should & does in Firefox3. The form is displayed but off-screen on startup; The page is set for a width of 1025px but the display is probably about 900px so the form is just off-screen to the right. But it is clipped in the middle and all you see is the password and submit fields. I suspect that the guilty party here is the CSS - I have the top margin set to -100px in order to position it where I want it. I guess, I have to find another way to position it. :-( -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@ptahhotep.com http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php
