Nothing happens when I press the submit-button. It just ignores it.  It works
fine in Konqueror and IE. I haven't tested with Opera.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill in anything into the textfields
2. Press the [->] button
Actual Results:  
Nothing at all

Expected Results:  
It should had taken me to another page saying "Ni har angivit felaktigt
användarid eller lösenord." which means "You have given a wrong userid or
password." ;)
Works in ns7.02, where the form manager dialog appears, asking if it shall
remember the values. The error page reporter mention appears after this.

Similar bugs of late:
bug 183516, bug 199111, bug 199158
Confirming bug with Mozilla trunk binary 2003032308 on WinNT.
Not a JS Engine problem. Reassigning to Form Submission and jkeiser.

The following is a reduced testcase. Save it locally and try it out.
In IE6 the submission takes place, so you get taken to another page
saying, "Ni har angivit felaktigt användarid eller lösenord"
("You have given a wrong userid or password.") as described above.

In Mozilla nothing happens; no errors occur in the JavaScript Console.
The bug seems to be caused by the use of |type="image"| for the submit
button. If I change to |type="button"|, then Mozilla behaves differently.
