hay.
i have this page with a form i've been building.
problem is that the submit button of the form won't work wirh IE.
it worked just fine some time ago, i can't remember what i changed in
my code that made it not to work, but i looked at the code over and
over again and nothing that can stop this from working.

i'm talking about IE7, with firefox the form works just fine.
thought it's the java command for form validation but even without
it's still not working.
looks like some kind of IE bug?
anyone had this problem?

Well glad *you* at least "i looked at the code"! How do you expect
anyone here to know sight unseen? URL, yes, post a URL!

And without a quote of the post you are replying to, there isn't much we
can understand about what the hell you are talking about!

As others have said, a URL would be invalueable. However, you can try
to debug it by putting an alert where it is not working, see if you can
trap what's happening. You might also want to try comp.lang.javascript
to see if anyone there might be able to help you.

the page is using a hebrew encoding, thought there's no much point of
posting a link.
but a form is a form, so if anyone can figure this out.

i was just was wondering if anyone seen this kind of thing...

There is *always* a point of posting a link! Without a link, any answer we
give could only ever be a wild stab in the dark.

Not 100% sure, but I think your check1() function needs to explicitly
"return true" when the form is OK.

Certainly. And one does not be fluent in Hebrew in order to analyze
technical problems with a page in Hebrew. Actually what matters more is the
layout direction (right to left), since among the two buttons at the bottom
of the page, it's the _left_ button that is the submit button, even though
it appears in markup _after_ the other button. And actually the page should
probably have <html dir="rtl"> instead of dir attributes scattered around

That would be a plausible hypothesis, but the original question said:
"thought it's the java command for form validation but even without it's
still not working", apparently using "java" as an odd spelling for
JavaScript. Disabling JavaScripting (or "active scripting" to use the IE
jargon) does not seem to make the button work, i.e. clicking on the button
just temporarily changes its appearance with no other visible effect.

This is somewhat odd, but perhaps the OP should first fix the 58 syntax
errors that http://validator.w3.org reports for the page. Many of them are
caused by an unclosed <p> tag (i.e. just "<p" with no matching ">", so that
the validator goes crazy when searching for the next ">"). If this does not
help - and I suspect it won't - then I guess the best strategy is to create
simpler test pages by gradually removing parts of the page until the problem
disappears. The last part removed might then be the culprit.
