(Not as confused as I am :-) )
I got a little more detail. It turns out, this user is using a IE 7. I
tested it on an old Windows XP and I had the same problem. The symptom is
when the user clicks on Submit it doesn't do anything.
It might have something to do with using this onclick in JavaScript code:
<input type=button value="Submit" onclick="myform(this.form)">
Since this turned out not to be Joomla template related, I won't follow
this up here. Thanks!
