Entered a keyword to search for on this page, and clicked on the Search button.
 Nothing happened.  The source code shows that the button should start a
validation, but nothing seems to happen.

The button code on the page is:

//-->
</script>
      <tr>
        <td align="right" class="bodytext">Post Date:</td>
        <td class="bodytext">
          <select name="TIME_FRAME">

		<option value=1>All</option><option value=2>Today</option><option value=3>< 1
Week Old</option><option value=4>< 2 Weeks Old</option><option value=5>< 3 Weeks
Old</option><option value=6>> 3 Weeks Old</option>
          </select>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
	  <td align="right" valign="top">&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>

        <td align="left">
          <input type="submit" name="Search" value="Search"
onClick="validatetimeframe(this.form)">

{

  if ((trim(theForm2.SEARCHPOSTID.value) != "" &&
theForm2.TIME_FRAME.selectedIndex != 0))

[Ruslan Ismailov]

Tech Evangelism case. Form described as:

<form name="SearchForm" onSubmit="return false;" method=post
action="/NASApp/jobengine/JobSearchResults?src=-1">

Mozilla first use onsubmit -- and "return false" mean that submit was
unsuccesfull , action do not run. IE doing another: it first use action, and
only then onsubmit (wich do not used, because page changes). So behaviour of
Mozilla pretended to be nihill.
