And this will break websites. I remember that I've exactly undone the 
"activate a submit button in case it was a lineedit" hack already for this 
reason.

its depending on the number of successful elements. Also, your patch makes 
it submit image elements. If I can remember correctly IE doesn't do that, 
because it has no coordinate information. but I'd have to check that first 
again.

Yeah, once Mozilla has 80% market share we can start thinking about 
emulating mozilla bugs, but until then we're better off emulating IE bugs.

Fair enough, but I've spend pretty much time on form related bugs so I do 
have some history on it ;-)
