Can you give us some information about:
  What OS your xymon server uses
  If there is a specific browser which has a problem
  Package install? Source install?
  Web server version

There were may changes made in 4.3.25/26 to protect against cross-site 
scripting problems (XSS).

I have confirmed I'm able to ACK on my installation:
  Solaris 10
  Firefox, chrome, IE
  Source compile
  Apache 2.2.31
So the function is there. The question is why do you not have the 
capability.

Have you checked your web server error log to see if it is prohibiting 
access to the cgi?
