Why is the Search Help link not working.
The code is long but using Frontpage and copying it there will help

From a first look at the source provided, I would suggest to wrap TABLE id=AutoNumber2, or even the whole div, with a form (if you want to support NS4, you must wrap DIV).
In current implementation you start a form inside first TD, and close it after one of </TR>, which might couse an issues.

Dear Yuriy,
I found the problem but this whole thing makes no sense
the problem lies here
<TABLE id=AutoNumber2 style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" height=68 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=162 align=rightborder=0>
Removing this align=right got the links and button working
Thanx for help,
Maki Jav
