When placing the Opening FORM tag between <TABLE> & <TR> OR <TR> & <TD> tags the normal form submissions work, but nothing is picked up by Ajax to post through to the next page. This used to work in FF2 and works perfectly in IE, but now has problems and passes empty POST values through.
** It might not be the standard to put the tags there, but if this is a standard issues accross all websites, I see lots of head scratching in the next few weeks.

WRONG:
<table width="100%">
<?php echo form_tag('accounting/exportPaidDebitOrders'); ?>
<tr>

CORRECT:
<?php echo form_tag('accounting/exportPaidDebitOrders'); ?>
<table width="100%">
<tr>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.
Actual Results:  
EMPTY FORM POST

Expected Results:  
SOME VALUES

Added a semi minimal testcase of dynamic form
It works when you have
<form>
<table>

New elements added do not work when you have
<table>
<form>

So what exactly is this bug about?  You're adding nodes via the DOM but not making them kids of the form, right?
