I'll take a stab at it. I think that it's because the "javascript://"
portion is trying to execute while the form is trying to submit, which
causes a conflict. I think the href is winning, but nothing actually
happens because there's nowhere to go. Try putting in a url and see what
happens.
Whatcha think, am I on base here?
