Well, "change" event is only valid for INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA
elements. It should also bubble (probably that's why it's caught on OL
element). I'm not sure why IE doesn't like this.

Thanks kangax,
I tried renaming the names as you suggested but it's still the same
thing. In Firefox it works, in IE it doesn't. If I change the
following line:
Event.observe('events', 'change', function (e) {
To observe one of the input elements instead
Event.observe('event1', 'change', function (e) {
It works in both IE and Firefox. Upon some further reading I found
from this document:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html
That it looks like "change" isn't valid for ol elements. So shame on
Firefox I guess? I'll try observing the form and update the event
details when it's submitted, hopefully that will work.

"event" is a pretty dangerous name to choose [1] : )
Browsers happen to do quite stupid things with named controls - e.g.
shadowing same-named global variables. In this case, IE's global
`event` (which actually references event object when event occurs) is
most likely shadowed with this input element. This means that `e' is
resolved to an element (rather than an event object) and so everything
sort of messes up.
Try to "namespace" those names - e.g. use something like "foo-uname",
"foo-password", etc. and see if the problem still exists.
