I've always thought of O'Reilly as a very reliable source of 
information, so I'm wondering if this is the only JavaScript that your 
are executing.

The following example works in IE6 for me:
http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/_FORM_onReset.html

Is the thing you're working on accessible for the people on this list? 
If I could see the whole page I might be able to help you out more.
