I've noticed an odd thing about IE5.5 (winme) lately, in that forms
will sometimes not submit, though they *will* submit if I use another
browser. These are basic forms, with a few text fields, a few text
areas, etc. Nothing fancy. But sometimes clicking on the submit button
does nothing. If I then do the exact same form submission from another
browser, it will go with no problems.

Has anyone heard of or seen anything similar? It seems like it must be
an IE5.5 bug... but I can't rule out the possibility of a coding
mistake somewhere on my part. But why would other browsers be okay
with it? Usually IE is the permissive one.

I'd send a link to an example of this happening, but it's a passworded
section of a site, and setting up an example at this point would take
more time that I have... but I wanted to know if anyone else had seen
this happen.
