<body>
<div id="main">
  <form>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>Username:</td>
        <td><input type="text" name="Username" value="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Password:</td>
        <td><input type="password" name="Password" value="" /></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="getResponse();" /></td>
        <td><input type="reset" value="Reset" /></td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

What I wanted to do is when the user clicks submit the form disappers and in place of it the link (frameset.html) with text Click here to begin comes. But what I am getting is that when I click submit I get Click here to begin below the form and then when I click again on submit I get another Click here to begin and now form disappears. Can anyone explain to me where am I going wrong?
