Object expected

[dcjones]

Hi all,

I need a fresh set of eyes to look at the script below. When I run it in the browser I have some icons: Cut, Copy, Paste and so on.

If I click on one of them I get an error:

Line 1
Char 1
Object Expected
Code 0

THIS IS THE CODE

echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"></table>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><form name=\"formc\" method=\"post\" action=\"\">";
echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td width=\"29%\"><img src=\"images/translated_text.gif\" width=\"103\" height=\"16\"></td>";
echo "<td width=\"71%\">";
?>

Please can some one have a look to see if I have missed some thing.

post a link where you have this implemented...or run the code on your server and then post the generated code...
