Also, you might want to add "return false;" to cancel any default action (shouldn't matter with type="button" though), and it's usually recommended to set "window.location.href" - well, recommended by purists like me :-)

Bingo !

It was the "type" attribute I was missing -- when I added that, everything worked !!!! : -)

I'll review the "window.location.href" thing.

As they say in php:

<?php
echo str_repeat("Thank You !", 100);
?>
