# Submit Button won't Click

 * I embedded a form on a page, and it looks great, except the “Submit” button won’t
   work. It didn’t work when it said “Send” either.
 * On a different page, the form works great. When I hover the cursor over the “
   Send” button, the button shows a shadow. On the second form, the one with the
   problem, this doesn’t happen.
 * The code used for the button is the standard code: <p>[submit “Submit”]</p>
 * Any clue what’s wrong?

 * Thank you. I found the problem.
 * There was an “Accept Terms” checkbox on the form, set to “inverse” – which I 
   THOUGHT meant it started out unchecked. I was wrong. Setting this checkbox to“
   Inverse” means it must be UNCHECKED to be valid.
 * I deleted the “Inverse” specification and the form now works.
 * The problem was that there was no indication that anything was wrong, no alert
   or message box. The SUBMIT button simply wouldn’t work.
 * To prevent others from having this problem, there should probably be a better
   explanation of what “inverse” means on the accept terms checkbox.
