that variable).

I have seen cases where IE will set the value of a submit button
variable differently if you hit <enter> within the form, than if you
click on the button with your mouse.

Remember, your comments accusation of "does/doesn't work in IE" is not
actually true - all of this code runs on the _server_ - not the client.
All that IE or Mozilla does is provide values for variables input to the
script: the script runs on the same server in both cases.

In any case in the phpinfo() I would look for differences in the value
of the "submit" variable. Obviously differences in the value of the
"code" variable would have an effect as well, but are possibly less
likely.

You may want to lose the javascript too, to simplify debugging. That
stuff _does_ run on the client, so may behave differently on Mozilla and
IE. Personally I avoid DHTML like the plague (because it is so prone to
browser-specific problems) and so I don't know what your fragment is
supposed to achieve.

Cheers,
Andrew.

You could change that to:
