Re: weird behavior with a form

Ahh I see, ok yeah what Queen said is basically where the problem lies. I had this problem on one of my scripts. If you just hit enter without using the mouse to submit a form the buttons value does not get added onto the form. What I did to remedy this was included a hidden field and then do your checking on that field. Thanks for the clarification :) Rick > Perhaps a little clarification...
