Try changing it to: Code: <FORM method="POST" action="_derived/nortbots.htm"> If memory serves, SPIE only supports HTML 3.2 and the OnSubmit event is only supported by HTML 4.0

It was a mistake on my part, I put the ending body and html tags in there, and it doesn't make a difference, I still get a blank page. I went to this site: http://www.jennerresearch.com They have a edit box where you put your URL and it reformats it to work on the phone. I tried it from the phone with www.smartphonetricks.com and it works. But when I examined there code its pretty strange, they seem to refer you first to there site, using some PHP to reformat the HTML. Lost me in the forest. There must be a genius on this board that knows the answer PS What would be the alternative to my on submit tag. __________________ Mitch Waite Group www.whatbird.com my story: www.mitchwaite.com

It shows all the checkboxes and buttons. The page renders okay (was that a problem?). Submit of course doesnt work, no idea. What is all that Bot (webbot-onSubmit) stuff in the OnSubmit.

goofy166 Intellectual Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 126		That was nice of you, I didn't think of looking at it locally on the phone. I have the identical code in my server and it won't open on the phone when I browse to it: http://www.smartphonetricks.com The submit stuff is the Frontpage default. All of it can be removed so I simplifed it to: <html><head><title>SmartPhoneTricks.com</title></head><BODY> <TABLE cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0> <TR><TD><p>mitchwaitepress.com</p> <form method="POST"> <p><input type="checkbox" name="C1" value="ON"> Blueberries</p><p><input type="checkbox" name="C2" value="ON"> Bread</p><p><input type="checkbox" name="C3" value="ON"> Bananas</p><p><input type="checkbox" name="C4" value="ON"> Milk</p><p><input type="checkbox" name="C5" value="ON"> Crackers</p> </form> </TD></TR></TABLE></BODY></html> __________________ Mitch Waite Group www.whatbird.com my story: www.mitchwaite.com

goofy166 Intellectual Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 126		I thought perhaps it was the URL forwarding from mydomains that was doing it so I tried the actual domain and that worked! So something weird is happening in URL forwarding. Thanks for helping, this forum is pure gold. Mitch __________________ Mitch Waite Group www.whatbird.com my story: www.mitchwaite.com
