You forgot to tell us what it should do.
<p>Please enter the type of book that you wish to purchase:</p>
<select name="hardback"
onchange="if(this.selectedIndex)cover=+(this[this.selectedIndex].value);">
This select element is not inside any form. That makes it hard to refer to
it. You can't go through the document.forms collection, and it doesn't
have an id.
<form>
The form needs an action to be valid.
<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE='reset'onClick='hardback.value=0'>
There is a space missing between the VALUE and onClick attributes.
You are referring to "hardback" here. There is no global variable
declared of that name. IE might create global variables referring
to named elements, but as you can see, other browsers don't. So,
you need some way of referring to the select with name="hardback".
</form>

My suggestion: put the select in the same form as the button. Then
refer to it as:
onclick="this.form.elements['hardback'].value = 0;"
(or just make the button an <input type="reset">).

IE often makes guesses if your code is missing something.
Sometimes the guess is correct, and it "works perfectly well":

if(this.selectedIndex)cover=+(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)
