[Quoted] Experienced the same problem; Searched metalink and found that Keep-cursor-position property was causing the problem (if set to Yes then [Quoted] the Form dies...). I don't know in which patchset this problem is solved or [Quoted] will be solved. I'm using basic 6i release without any patches...(so I'm a [Quoted] regular guest at Metalink)
