linked buttons

[guy]

I've got the following piece of html in one of my pages:

<p align="right"><a href="ES_MP_2004-06-02.htm"><input type="button"
value="<< Previous" name="B1"></a><a href="ES_MP_2004-06-04.htm"><input
type="button" value="Next >>" name="B2"></a></p>

Which works fine if I use a Firefox browser to click the buttons but doesn't
work with IE.

Any idea how to change this so that it works for IE as well?

Thanks

Is this surrounded by form tags, since you are using form elements?

Also change your code to be like:

<p align="right"><a href="ES_MP_2004-06-02.htm"><input type="button"
value="<< Previous"></a><a href="ES_MP_2004-06-04.htm"><input
type="button" value="Next >>"></a></p>

Hi Thomas,

No I didn't have it surrounded by <form> tags which I've tried but that
didn't help. I also tried dropping the name attribute but that didn't help
either, and then I tried <form> tags and dropping the name attribute but
again no joy.

Strange that Firefox doesn't have a problem with it though isn't it?

So can you not just plonk a button on a page without having a <form> tag
around it?

Here is the page on the web in case you want to see it working with Firefox
and not working with IE:

Thanks for your help.

When you insert a form element is need to have the form tags. You can also try changing the button
to a submit button. However the best solution is to create a image for each button and then
hyperlink it.

Your best solution was a good one. I've implemented that. Thanks for your
