Hi Ian,

Wish I had good news for you. On a Windows XP Pro box and a Windows Server
2003 box, we loaded your page into IE, and it would not submit. We loaded it
into Netscape on the same (XP Pro) box, and it worked. If you got it to work
on an XP Pro box, you might want to check the version of IE that it is
running. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with IE6.

Unfortunately, the amount and complexity of the JavaScript generated by the
Page validator controls was too large for us to spend the amount of time
debugging it to identify the exact cuase of the problem. It seems odd that
you are not among a large group of people that may be having this same
problem on IE with ASP.Net page validators.

I'm just wondering here, but it could have something to do with Service Pack
2 and IE 6, or just with IE6. But again, I haven't heard anything about
issues with these. On the other hand, we don't use the built-in ASP.Net
validation for our apps.

Another alternative is, what version of ASP.Net are you using? If the
problem lies with IE6, it could be due to using ASP.Net version 1.0, which
came out prior to IE6, rather than using ASP.Net 1.1, which came out after
IE6. Just guessing here.

I hope that someone who has experience with this issue can help you further.
