<body>
<form method="get">
enter one ISBN: <input type="text" name="isbn" onChange="start(this.value)">
</form>
</body>


What is wrong with the 3rd line?
IE complains for object not exists.
But firefox is fine.

The explanation is a bit vague but i'm going to go out on a limb and say it is possibly a javascript issue as i have had the same problem a while back. What does your javascript code look like?

I just don't understand what kind of problem does it happened?
Therefore, no way to handle.

Can you paste / attach the script here, the pastebin page doesn't want to open; also paste the code of how you implement it
