The form has to be submitted only after click on INPUT type=submit. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create HTML page with a form. 2. Insert in the form a BUTTON tag with script in onClick event. 3. Open the page in Mozilla and try execute the script. The form is submitted.
According to bug 141563 comment 3, this is due to a bug in IE. You should give a 'button'-type to your button, otherwise it's automatically a submit-button. IE has a wrong default type.
