User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Page contains no opening html or body tag, but does have closing tags.  Page
consists of just a form post, which seemingly in IE/Opera8b3 POSTs, goes to
another page, and bounces back to the original page which has proper code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to MoyaPhotography.com
2. Click Sessions
3. View source, spit at website.

Actual Results:  
Blank page

Expected Results:  
Quirks should post, bounce back and show the page proper.

I found out about this because my mom wanted to see some photos of some guys
wedding, and he said that it didn't work in his netscape so he had to use
Microsoft Explorer.  I had to open IE and return to my machine for investigation.

Error: document.form1 has no properties
Source File: http://www.moyaphotography.com/exec/vando/index.php
Line: 1

<script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript">document.form1.submit();</script>

    document.getElementsByName('form1')[0].submit()
    document.forms['form1'].submit()
and the like do work.

Click to Buy Now has same problem.  Works in IE & Opera 8 beta 3 though.

[00:55:56] <@jX> Tom: Aha
[00:55:57] <@jX> I see
[00:56:03] <@jX> it's more of IE's crutch coding.
[00:56:26] <@jX> That image is the ONLY user selectable input in the form, so IE
just assumed it's the submit item, despite it not actually being one.
[00:56:48] <@jX> so it fires the submit attached in the form tag
[00:56:55] <@jX> which is AWFUL

Front page of site has some comments which may be useful:

<!-- Sorry, no DOCTYPE - need quirks mode to render 100% table height -->
<!-- Put together by TUI interactive media in London. http://www.tui.co.uk/ -->
