it's not an issue of a comma, you're submitting the field twice on 
the same form...

you have this on line 20 (Titill):
<input type="text" name="title" size="20"  style="width: 200">

you have this on line 277 (Verð):
<input type="text" name="title" size="20"  style="width: 200">

change the name of the second one (or the first one) to something 
else and you'll be fine (you'll have to request it from the collection 
by its new name, of course)...
