Hi Spike,
Well the links in question are generated by a tag which is part of
the wizards system I use, so it's built to be generic. In wizards
that aren't step-aware it uses forms[0], otherwise you pass it
attributes.formName and it uses that. BTW - does getElementByID
work in nutscrape / mozilla etc as well as IE?
cheers,
Toby
