What problem, and where is the Javascript?

Binding 100,000 items to a list box can be just silly regardless of what pattern you are following. Jeremy Likness

JavaScript goes in the head tag and not in the form tag.

Not true! Try this in your favourite browser:

<html>
<body>
<form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!");
alert("Told ya!");
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Putting it in head might be good style, but it's not for function. Cheers, Peter

True. However the OP said it does not work when put into the Form tag, so put it into the head tag.

There must be something else wrong. Buttons with javascript actions work just fine in forms. Peter

In your html file, you can always write

That keeps your script in a separate file for ease of maintenance and reuse. Peter

You are missing a quuote in your onclick there. Javascript definitely works on form controls so you're doing something else wrong.
