I was refering to js manipulation because it gets confused as to whether submit is an attribute or a method. If you name an object "submit" the document.forms[0].submit is just an object reference and does not invoke the submit method of the form. I know, I know, you should always have () on a method but the browsers are tolerant and that can cause problems.
