Re: Netscape Form Validation

Is you form enclosed in a layer?

If so, any reference you make to the form elements or the form in NN4 has 
to be preceded by document.layer['layer_name']
e.g.
document.layer['layer_name'].document.forms[0].submit()

the above statement won't work in IE, so you'll have to detect the browser 
and serve up the appropriate statement.

Also I think NN4 chokes if the form tag is inside of a table.
