  Hi,

  The form *seems* to submit (the page reloads) but the values in the form
(in this case the username and password) are not passed. Do I need to do
something special to make the form submit /and/ pass the values?

  The form is structured like this at the moment (typing it from another
computer so forgive typos):

...
<script language="javascript" src="/tle-bu.js"></script>
...
<form action="/cgi-bin/tle-bu.cgi" method="post" name="login">
User Name: <input type="text" size="10" name="Name"><br>
Password: <input type="password" size="10" name="Pass"><br>
<a href="#" onClick="doSubmit()">Login</a><br>
</form>

  The actual funtion in the 'tle-bu.js' file is:

function doSubmit ()
{
    document.forms.login.submit();
}

  Is anything overly obvious missing?

  Thanks!!!

Madison
