If PHP isn't receiving a value for submit, it's possible IE isn't sending one. If you use method="get" rather than post, you can see if a value for submit is being passed. If not, there's probably very little you can do. Maybe a bit of Javascript on the text field that sets a submit value, an onChange or something? (Says the person with no JS experience whatsoever) Matt
