Good Morning Stackoverflow-ka-teers,

I am creating a raffle form that allows you to enter in your name and then select your location from a dropdown list. Once you have done both, you click the submit, and the form posts into a database

Simple enough.

Works fantastic in Chrome, Firefox, and even Safari (has to due to the client wants this to work on an iPad)…. but when it comes to IE8, all hell breaks loose!

I noticed on my SUBMIT button this little funky thing that is ONLY appearing in IE8

<a id="submit" onclick="javascript:submit()" href="javascript:void(null)" jQuery171013871964676587128="2">

What the HELL is that jQuery string that equals 2?

My other concern is when I null out BOTH the href and the onclick attributes on the SUBMIT button, the submit function still executes, but only in IE8.

**

Why is there saying paper jam, when there IS no paper jam?

    As a way to “brute-force” it, you might try to force IE to render as IE7.

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
    

    Also, is there a reason why you’re mixing the HTML onclick with jQuery, instead of just using jQuery to attach the event?
