I know next to nothing about HTML and Javascript and such. I'm hoping this is the correct category! My question is this: I have a survey in one of my web pages. It consists of several radio buttons, drop-down lists, a text field, and a text area, followed by a "submit" button. Everything works fine in IE, but in NS the "submit" button is gone and the actual word "submit" in its place. Why? Are my tags incorrect? I used
<button type="submit">Submit</button></form>
after all my other form elements.

try this:

<form ...>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit it!!!">
.
.
.
</form>...

OK, well now the button actually shows up, but there are still problems. Nothing happens when I click it in both IE and NS. The text on the button is the default "Submit Query."

This sounds more like a general web design question than a JavaScript question. I will move this to post over.

In the mean time, we will need to see the code you are using or a url where it is active in order to be of much help.

OK. The page it's on is at http://www.dreamwater.net/pnnccsd/survey.html .

First off I would change the submit buttob as amcs suggested. Secondly your form tag will never allow the form to be submitted:

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.dreamwater.net/cgi-bin/user_formmail.cgi/english" onsubmit="return false;">

Try changing the button and deleteing the onsubmit bit. I just changed them and sent a test survey. My 15 year old daughter who is a total animee freak took the survey so the answers are even real.

Yay! It works now! Thank you so much, everyone. I really appreciate it.
