This is true also for Javascript commands. They are both heavy on the
OS. Thus, combining forms and Javscript is a big mistake. It blows out
some browsers. All JS commands shoudl be written outside the <form>
block. Beware! Once I had spent DAYS debugging a complex page untill I
have found this problem and fixed it.
