This looks like an advocacy bug to me; moving it to desktop evangelism. I'm sure we know somebody there.

Nothing else to expect when code like this is part of the JS for processing the form:

		//Process Omniture Tracking
		var s=s_gi(sTrackingAccounts);
		s.linkTrackVars='prop12,prop13,prop14,prop15,prop22,events';
		s.linkTrackEvents='event16';
		s.events='event16';
		s.trackingServer="metrics.amd.com";

sTrackingAccounts is not defined, likely because the Omniture tracker is blocked. This code should detect if s_gi and sTrackingAccounts exist and skip the Omniture part if not.
