Sure! It was a very lengthy program. Thanks for reading it.
The asp web page was written by DreamWeaver. I quote a part I think is causing the problem. The functions are all stored in a file called JSfunction.js. When the form is submitted, the JAVAScript functions are supposed to check all the required fields are entered, required radio buttons are checked, the date is entered in correct format, etc.
When I use Mozilla browser, the program works, but not for IE6.0
