Affects: IE5, IE5.5, IE6, IE7, IE8 Beta 1, IE8 Beta 2, IE8 PR1, IE8 RC1
Description: When a form is submitted, by any method other that an input button of type="submit", the data in the form is NOT stored for future use in AutoComplete.
Example: calling document.forms['foo'].submit(); from JavaScript will not save the form contents for future use.
Known Workarounds: According to this KB article KB:329156, explicitly calling this function, before calling .submit(); will store the data in the AutoComplete history.
Example Workaround Code:
function fixSubmit(formObj){
window.external.AutoCompleteSaveForm(formObj);
formObj.submit();
}Related Issues: The workaround for this bug, could be directly incorporated into the .submit() method for all forms on a page, by prototyping a .submit() wrapper on the HTMLFormElement object, however due to bug 186, this is not possible.
