Still drumming... <G>

You're loading session with:

session=(document.getElementById('SESSION').value);  

However, look at the definition of the session input tag:

<input type="hidden" name="SESSION" value="/3EAC243C8F038D11/4FD9C6F3">

See a problem? I missed this last time. 

I agree w/Joe that a JS debugger would help.

However, I made the change and it still works in IE, but, sadly, not in 
NS which complains that .

document.getElementsByName(buttonname)[0] has no properties 

and I cannot work out what that means.


Thank you for your most kind efforts.

Best wishes
