image button doesn't submit form, but hitting enter does

[toolman]

Hi,

 

I have the following code for a newsletter signup. The form works when the user enters their email address and hits enter, but if the submit the form using the image or a link, it prompts them with a message saying the email address is invalid.

 

Any ideas what would cause this?

 

Thanks

 

 
(function(a){var b={g:function(){var d=document.cookie.split(";");for(var e=0;e<d.length;e++){var f=d[e];while(f.charAt(0)==" "){f=f.substring(1,f.length)}if(f.indexOf("euCookieLaw")==0){return f.substring("euCookieLaw".length,f.length)}}return null},s:function(d){var c=new Date();c.setTime(c.getTime()+315532800000);document.cookie="euCookieLaw="+d+"; expires="+c.toGMTString()+"; path=/"}};a.extend({cookieLaw:function(c){var e={impliedConsent:true,title:"Our Cookie Policy",shortMessage:"<h3>Sign up for Special Offers</h3><p><img src=\"/beta/images/small_tick.png\" /> Discount Codes and Promotions<br /><img src=\"/beta/images/small_tick.png\" /> Receive Special Offers<br /><img src=\"/beta/images/small_tick.png\" /> Latest News and Competitions</p><p><strong>Enter your email to signup:</strong></p><form action=\"action.php" method=\"post\" id=\"newsletter_form\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"email\" onfocus=\"javascript:this.value =(this.value == 'Your email address...')?'':this.value;\" onblur=\"javascript: this.value=(!this.value)?'Your email':this.value;\" class=\"email\" maxlength=\"4000\" name=\"EMAIL\" value=\"Your email\" size=\"23\" /><a href=\"#\" onclick=\"var form = document.getElementById('newsletter_form'); Marketing.OptIn(form); return false\" title=\"Sign Up for offers\" class=\"button\">signup</a><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"EMAIL_REQUIRED\" value=\"T\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"EMAIL_DATATYPE\" value=\"email\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"agent_code_REQUIRED\" value=\"T\" /><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"agent_code_DATATYPE\" value=\"text\" /><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"newsletter_agentCode\" name=\"agent_code\" value=\"$ref_code\" /></form>",longMessage:"Cookies are small text files held on your computer.

It's difficult to tell what's going on since code doesn't have any line breaks. One issue that I noticed, however, is that the following has an unescaped double quote:

 

 

<form action=\"action.php" method=\"post\"

 

I'm not sure if that would cause the problem you describe though...

Thanks, It does actually have an escape, I must have removed it when posting to remove the actual url.

 

Any ideas what would cause the issue?
