I am now having difficulty with a form that prior to 10:00 this morning, was working just fine. The form has a button at the bottom that when pressed, will send a pre-addressed, standard message to a supervisor. I am pasting the code below. Now, when the button is clicked, IE 6.0 freezes up - nothing is sent. I am at a loss as to why this is happening. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thank you for your time!

Have you checked to see if your mail server is running correctly? Looks like the form code is ok.

"They" (the guys in IT) said that they were making some changes, none of which should have had any effect on what I was doing. HOWever....as if by Magic, at 3:04pm, I decided to try one more time and - lo and behold - it worked! Three hours of agonizing, all for naught. Thanks for taking a look - I appreciate it! I've left IT a message - I'll be curious to hear the response.
