echo'<style type="text/css">

But not IE.

What's up here?

[mfacer]

what doesnt work about it?

[rbblue8]

lol,

Guess i forgot that one 🙂

The first forum shows up correctly (the function start() ) and after you fill that in, and hit submit... it goes no where. Just back to that same screen as if you did nothing or viewing that page for the first time.

Ok,

So it does work.. But only when you auctally click the buttion. When you just hit the enter key it does not work.... Any idea's?

[mfacer]

hmm... not really sure - I'd have to run the code prob to test...
it could be something to do with the checking at the beginning... eg: You are testing for the button names to processes... why not change that to use hidden fields...

<input type="hidden" name="todo" value="1">

use that in the first form , then in the second form use value="2"

then in the opening statement, just use those to decide what to do?

thats prob because again, you're using the "submit" button to test if its been sent.. maybe if the user doesnt press the button, it doesnt send the "submit" in the POST data....
