Hi James,

   well that's the issue - it *does* call the function - I've tested
   this umpteen times, and the function gets called and works
   perfectly.  If I add a second submit() to the function itself then
   it will submit the form - otherwise it just executes then stops...
   no errors anywhere.

cheers,
Toby
