I think Keith hits this one on the head -- Without an ACTION directive in the FORM definition, you're at the mercy of the browser where it gets sent (if in fact it's sent anywhere) ... You might find some browsers work (defaulting to resubmit to the current page), whereas others will silently fail sending the page nowhere.
