Ok the browser I'm using is IE 5.5 sp2 and I've seen these boxes work fine
before on other examples.

The code I'm using for the button is...

<input type="button" name="Button" value="Button" onClick='prompt("Enter an
email address.", "")'>

There isn't really any other code I can think of that would interfere with
this button or the code inside!?
