Sorry for the off-topic, but I'm working on a web page that runs on apache on

I'm trying to incorporate a _javascript_ to select dates. I'm using Matt
Kruse's CalendarPopup.js routine, which seems pretty cool (
http://www.mattkruse.com/_javascript_/calendarpopup/ )

However, I'm having a weird problem. The calendar popup will not work if
there is an html FORM preceeding the call to the OnClick routine. If the FORM
follows the OnClick routine, everything works fine. If the form preceeds the
OnClick, nothing happens. (No error messages in /var/loga/apache2/error.log,
either)

I'm new to _javascript_, but this seems totally goof-ball and makes no sense to
me.

Here are 2 pages that show what I mean:

This works:
http://project.nerdworld.org/popupworks.html

This does not work:
http://project.nerdworld.org/popupnoworks.html

The pages are almost identical, except that I commented out the FORM
preceeding the call to the _javascript_ routine.

Can somebody explain what the heck is going on here?
