Strange form problem Glenn Alcott 10-21-2004

I'm having a really wierd problem with a simple form on an HTML page.
It's just 3 text boxes and a submit button. It displays correctly but
it doesn't accept any input. When you type into the boxes, nothing
appears. I had a couple of people try it with the same result. When I
pull out the form code into its own separate page, it works fine. I've
never seen anything like this before. Anyone have a clue? Thanks.

The page is at: http://costguard.stormhosts.com/support2.htm

It works for me. I click into the boxes, I type, and text appears in
them.

When I first tried, Opera would not allow me to do anything. Then I
noticed the page and images were still loading. Once I stopped the
download and tried again, it worked fine. This problem not noticed in IE,
it seems to accept text while loading.

35 seconds on dialup. Maybe a tad heavy.

It's fixed; the problem turned out to be a be a bit of wacky Javascript
code.
