Question

I have a problem.
The client is claiming that a prize signup form I built for them is not working in IE 7.
It works in IE 8 just fine which they agree about, but in IE 7 it doesn’t. (luckily they don’t care about IE 6).
I was hoping someone could help me debug it since I don’t have access to a machine with IE 7 (I work on a Mac).
The page is here:
http://www.fuchscorp.com/midamerica/prizes/prize.signup.php

When you click the Submit button in IE 7 it just doesn’t work.
Don’t worry about submitting information as the site isn’t live (so, no…you won’t be winning any prizes).

If someone could please help me debug this and figure out what’s going on that would be amazingly helpful.

Answer 1

I’m not overly familiar with the validate library for jQuery… but I don’t see where you “hook” in your button to “submit” the form?

My guess would be that you need a type="submit" attribute on your button element… or IE7 is getting messed up because your id is Submit, and IE has issues with elements in a form named the same as methods.. e.g. submit()

So try adding the attribute and/or changing the id/name.
