Works just fine for me. I changed only the prototype path and the
target url ("forgot.php") to match my current setup.
Little nits:
1. asynchronous:true is a default behavior. Don't need to specify it.
2. Don't use a button.onclick observer in this case. Use a
form.onsubmit, and make the button type="submit".
3. Text at 7pt is horrendously small.
