| <INPUT onClick="alert('Please do not click the \"Click\" button again')">

The rules of HTML say that the value of that 'onclick' attribute is
everything between the first " and the very *next* ".

The piece of code made from 'onclick' attribute value thus reads as

| alert('Please do not click the \

and contains syntax errors.



By the way, which webbrowser are you using? Modern ones will report
script errors somewhere.
