<form action="" method="post" id="InqRespForm" name=InqRespForm>
Reply to the above Inquiry : <br/>
<textarea rows="7" name="Detail" id="InquiryResponse" cols="60" colspan=2>Type your response in this space ...</textarea>
<br/>
<input id="SendReply" name="Send" type="submit" value="Send Response" alt="Reply to Inquiry" />
</form>
On form submit, I send an email out. Which works on FF, Chrome etc. But I've gone bald trying to make this work in IE8. I will buy you beer if you can point me to a solution.
