i have an html form. it doesn't work when you press enter or submit. Here's the code for the form.

<table width="50%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="joke_search.asp">
      <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#0000FF">
        <div align="center"><b>Search Options</b></div>
      </td>
    </form>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="25%" bgcolor="#0099FF">
      <div align="right">Search By:</div>
    </td>
    <td width="25%">
      <select name="tos">
        <option value="JokeName">Joke Name</option>
        <option value="AdditionDate">Addition Date (mm/dd/yyyy)</option>
        <option value="ID">Joke ID</option>
      </select>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="25%" bgcolor="#0099FF">
      <div align="right">Search for:</div>
    </td>
    <td width="25%">
      <input type="text" name="st">

Im confused looking at your form, are you sure it works? It looks like you have a select box instead of 3 seperate form elements.
