Thanks Jim, Yes, we found it to be an oddity in IE6 but mostly an error on our part. The html:submit onchange method was actually submitting the form (as any other control does). Doing this is wrong to begin with, and it turns out that Mozilla and IE handle it differently.
Now the page contains a default value of "submit" in the hidden field that onchange updates. That way submit does not have to call any js, and the action is still able to determine what to do. Thanks again.

I would put some debugging code of some sort in your JS and see if IE6 is calling it even when it's not supposed to. I've also experienced some other oddities with IE 6 that don't happen elsewhere. > > Thanks in advance. > Ivan > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
