issue with a form button
the button to call the block.php page doesn't worrk. i've used submits and resets before, but not buttons. so i'm not sure what's wrong here. if anyone can explain it, i would really like to know. it has been edited to prevent horizontal scrolling

if you don't need to pass variables from this page to the other one then you should use
<input type="button" name="block" value="Block User" onClick="window.location='block.php';"></td>
to pass variables you will need to change the action of the form and submit it later

Why not just link to it with a hyperlink?

good point. no reason i can't change it to a hyperlink. all it needs is the username (to get he user id, which i might pass to it anyway...) and your username and pass which is in a coookie anyway.... hmmmm... probalby the easiest thing to do. i figured using post would obscure it a bit, but there's not reason to stop users form figuring out how to get there directly
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

If you want to use a form to pass the variables, you'd have to have that form separate from the other form, or do weird JavaScript that will be not-cross-os/platform and hence will give you grief.

Sorry, druagord, I missed your response! That will work, but only, of course, if JavaScript is enabled (hence not bulletproof). Not necessarily relevant, but to you on xhtml pages, you'd have to make some minor changes.
The above is only a caution. You know me. all about the lurkers.
