No.  I mean the form has no action; there is no submit.

It is a form purely because (AIUI) some actual browsers require buttons
to be within a form, or something like that.  IIRC, one can remove from
my pages all "<form name=ID>" and "</form>", and all occurrences of
"ID." or "with (ID) {" & "}" , and the pages will still work in MSIE 4
but will work even worse than usual in NS 4.7.

==

The latest js-index.htm has an additional non-table-enclosed DynWrite
target, but still does not work in NS4.7; the first press wipes the
target's preload, the second kills the browser.

Perhaps someone with 4.7 could actually get the code to work, or report
impossibility?

The 4.7 exercise is yielding slow improvements elsewhere.  MSIE 5.5
teaches little more than the need to widen some I/O boxes a little.
