Form in modal using Internet Explorer 8

[Matthew Goodson <ma...@spidertracks.com>]

Hi guys,
I have a jquery modal which contains a form which has an ajax button.
The problem I have is that when using internet explorer 8 (and presumibly
older versions) when the button is clicked an ajax callback is fired for the
button AND also an ajax form submit callback is fired.
This doesn't happen with ie9, firefox or chrome. For these browsers I just
get the one ajax callback for the button which is what I would expect.

Does anyone know what would cause the form submit to fire on ie8?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I figured out what was causing my problem.
For anyone else that gets the same thing...

I had a jquery modal with a form in it. Inside the form I had an input tag
of type "image". (<input type="image" src="/assets/img.jpg"/>)
I found that when I clicked the input tag ie was submitting the form. It
only happened when using ie 8 older.
It turns out that when I use an input tag of a different type then the
problem stopped.

Thanks
