Curious. I originally tested my method on IE7 and it works OK.
Nevertheless, Iceberg is right in that the button tag isn't consistent
across browsers. w3cschools.com says
"""
Always specify the type attribute for the button. The default type for
Internet Explorer is "button", while in other browsers (and in the W3C
specification) it is "submit".
"""
