Re: form submit button as navigation

Hi Victoria

This came up just a couple of weeks ago on the Techniques list, and the
consensus was that this will work fine, but you have to use METHOD="GET"
(and don't forget the closing FORM tag, of course).  I should say that I
haven't tried this, so can't confirm it, but the fact that the person who
asked didn't come back probably meant that it worked.  :-)

HTH!

Regards,
Donna
