I'm sorry my spanish isn't good enough to be much help, but let me try 
anyway.

When I look at the code, I don't understand why it works in any 
browser.  The form has a submit handler 'validainfotext(this)', but 
there is no submit button on the form.  If I press the enter key while 
I'm in an input field, the form submits and the validation code runs 
just fine.

In short, move the submit handler to an onclick on the input type 
image, or replace the image with a submit.

The javascript code the page is using could be much improved.  it looks 
like the designer just found code on the web and stuck it in.
