[Javascript] onreset functionality in MS/IE

[Ron Wingfield]

Well, . . .I have added the same instruction to a much simpler Perl/JavaScript pgm., and it works as advertised.  The program in which it fails, has a lot going on in it.  I'll take a look at the code after lunch, and if I cannot solve the problem, I may update the question.

Thanks,
Ron W.

  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.
