Why does FireFox hate this code?

Why does FireFox hate this code?

Here is the UE 3.0.7 ASP code from a web page with a form. Works fine with IE8, IE9 and Chrome.

Firefox, however, just returns to a blank form w/o sending the email.

Any idea why? Thanks for any help.

Okay, attached the ASP page in a ZIP file.

Just sanitized it a little bit by changing authentication email address and password. Otherwiise it is "as is."

Thanks.

the html5 form plugin code is causing the problem.

remove this code from the page:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#frmMail').html5form();
});
</script>


and it will start working.

I'll try that.

Firefox seems to struggle with javascript.

Thanks Jason -- it worked!

Except I didn't actually remove the javascript. It's there for the sake of IE8 et al, so I made it conditional using <!--[if lte IE 8]>

Thanks.
