Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / June 2007

I am designing a web survey using surveymonkey.com and discovered I
could use javascript to modify their standard question formats much
the same as can be done in myspace.

I used this feature to insert a weight converter I found into my
survey. Unfortunately this script works fine in firefox v.2 but does
not cooperate with the surveymonkey software when used with internet
explorer v.6. In IE, the script makes it so that I am unable to skip
the pages using the usual "next" button.

Why wont the script won't work properly in both browsers?  Is there a
simple solution? I paste the script below.

Many thanks,

Graham
