O.P. Text box not appearing in IE
I have a shoutbox for my forums, but the text box doesn't appear in IE, but shows in Firefox (I'm not sure about other browsers). How can I fix it?

Here is code from the file that contains the code for the text box (:S)

code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>ShoutBox</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="180URL=shout_inc_form.php">

<script language="JavaScript">
function addsmiley(symbol) {
  document.postshout.msg.value += symbol;
  document.postshout.msg.focus();
}
<!-- Begin

function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=300,height=500');");
}
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.php?$theme" />

</head>
<body class="trow1" width="80%">
<form name="postshout" method="post" action="/shout_inc_form.php">

<input type="hidden" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  <table align="center" class="trow1">

RE: Text box not appearing in IE
this line: <input name="name" type="hidden" id="name" value="&nbsp;&nbsp;Reaper"

You missed the > at the end and I don't think you want type="hidden"

So replace that line with:

<input name="name" id="name" value="&nbsp;&nbsp;Reaper">
