Javascript won't work in IE7

It works fine in Firefox 2+ but in IE7 the alert window doesnt appear and the script doesnt work.

Maybe I'm missing something

Heres the form the script is tied to:


[HTML] <form id="Quiz" name="Quiz" method="get" >
<table width="405" table="table" height="24" border="0" align="center">
<!--DWLayoutTable-->
<tr>
<td width="96" valign="top" bgcolor="#990000"><span class="style1"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Answer</strong></font></span></td>
<td width="299" rowspan="2" valign="top"><label>
<input name="Answer" type="text" id="Answer" size="34" />
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="39" colspan="2">
<div align="left"><label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" onClick="checkAnswer(this.form)" />
</label>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>[/HTML]


Heres the script, its an external script preloaded in the head section:

A few things are going on here

1. Never use onClick of a submit button - instead use the onSubmit of the form and return false if the form itself should not be submitted.

2. You should not rely on javascript to hide an answer to a password-like question.

3. Your script can be simpler:

[HTML] <form id="Quiz" name="Quiz" method="get"
onSubmit="return checkAnswer(this)">
.
.
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>[/HTML]

Changing it to onSubmit results in the script not working at all in Firefox or IE. The other changes still aren't making it work, unfortunately.

I appreciate the help.

I believe you may have pasted the script incorrectly or missed something in the html you gave me.
Here is the script combined with your code and it works as intended in IE, Firefox and Safari on Windows XP
