Hi Barbara, I just ran a quick test with IE 5.5, and it seems that your code works fine for me (with the script tag inside the form).
Along a different vein, are you sure your input name is "my_text"? Is it maybe "my_text " or " my_text" instead? If you do have extra whitespace in the input name, IE will consider that a different name, so that might be why you get the error message you see. Anyway, shot in the dark, but hope it might help!

I suspect that the javascript interpreter cannot resolve "my_form" because it has not been completely written to the browser yet. hope this helps, StanD. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara Post" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 8:53 AM Subject: issues with javascript > I know this is a bit offtopic but maybe it is due to cocoon ?
