onClick on one button frozen until another button is clicked?

[steve kelly]

I have a couple html buttons on a page. The below are "frozen" on the screen until I jump start it by using a drop down value then they work perfectly fine.
Below are the buttons that dont work until i trigger them by clicking on another one that does a submit to server. Then these buttons work just fine. Is there something maybe wrong with my java script or I have something wrong with a settings somewhere maybe? Kjndof scratching my head on this one.

  <button id="NextPage" name="NextPage" tabindex="4"
                accesskey="." style="height: 20px; width: 18px;" title="Next page (Alt + .)" 
                onclick="nextPage()"
                >
                <img src="images/nextpage.gif" width="8" height="9" border="0">
        </button>
        <button id="LastPage" name="LastPage" tabindex="5"
                accesskey=">" style="height: 20px; width: 25px;" title="Last page (Shift + Alt + .)"
                onclick="lastPage()"
                >
                <img src="images/lastpage.gif" width="15" height="9" border="0">
        </button>

What do you mean by "frozen"?

The buttons just dont seem to acknowedge a click. They are enabled but simply dont allow a click. Its a strange one. My other screen doesnt do this. Could it be how I implemented my screen somehow?

Is the browser window not in focus for some reason so the first click focus the window and second click interacts with it?
