Hello,

I've experienced this problem while designing some html templates for the xt:Commerce shop system. I've designed some semantic tables with <thead>, <tfoot> and <tbody> elements. The <input type="image" ...> is nested inside <tfood> elements.

During testing the templates I've noticed, that the form wasn't send properly because some articles/products wasn't deleted from my cart. I've tested the html template in IE 7 and it works. I've also disabled all my firefox extensions in order to guarantee that an extension is causing this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a table which is nested inside a html form, attributes: action, method
2. create thead tfoot tbody (in this order) elements in side this table
3. create <input type="image" ... /> with png image as src file and some more form fields inside tbody element

Actual Results:  
the form wasn't send properly, cart items stay in cart

Expected Results:  
send the id of the cart item which can be removed

I have installed a lot of extensions in Firefox but I've disabled them before posting this bug here.

I just encountered this in the newest 5.0, same situation as well, using for item removal from a cart.

if using input type=image, FF fails to send the value, just sends a blank string instead. I'm working around it for now, I had a similar issue with IE, and used javascript to update a separate hidden input with the proper item id.
