    The button tag outputs:

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="mv_click" VALUE="continue">

    in the HTML, in this case regardless of whether it is closed or not
(although I assume it should indeed be closed).  The outputted HTML, which
looks OK to me, is:

<html>
<body>
<form action="http://shop.sophee.com/sophee/process.html" method="POST">
<input type=hidden name="mv_session_id" value="G8AUNC9J">
<B>generic Textfield</B>
<input type=text name="textfield"><br>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="mv_click" VALUE="continue">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks,
Jeff
