I have double and triple check my templates and all codes are correct.
I can't make a post in IE but was able to do it in Netscape. I have tested it for 2 days and cleared my cache in IE but the problem still exists.
What could be wrong?
I have done a search in this forum and couldn't find a similar problem here.
My blog is listed

I think your problem may be the input buttons at the bottom of your form (cancel, preview, post). You are using type="image" for the buttons instead of type="button" or type="submit". When you click on the type="image" post button, the browser sends post.x and post.y as the form field names in the form data instead of "post". (x and y are the coordinates of the mouse when it was clicked on the image.) Since the MT comments cgi script is looking only for "post", it thinks the form is invalid/empty and discards it.
Possible solutions:
1) Change the cancel button to type="button" and the preview and post buttons to type="submit".
2) Hack MT so it recognizes the form's image button names with the ".x" and ".y" appended to them. (I have no idea how or where to do this.)

I guess as much it must be the image. Dreamweaver won't let me change the type to a button if it is an image. I guess I will use CSS to overcome this but the button will not look like what I wish it would be
