New issue 332 by msgilli...@gmail.com: Support standard form submit inputs
input[type="submit"] everywhere and deprecate use of <a> tags
a[type="submit"]
http://code.google.com/p/iui/issues/detail?id=332

iUI has from the beginning used the following link to trigger an ajax form
submission:
<a class="whiteButton" type="submit">Submit (a)</a>

This is non-standard HTML and has been the source of many compatibility
problems.

iUI should use a standard HTML <input> tag instead:

<input class="whiteButton" type="submit" name="submitInput"
value="Submit" />

iui.js and iui.css should be changed to support using the <input> tag in
every case where the <a> tag has previously been used and should officially
deprecate use of the <a type="submit"> tag. This means the documentation
needs to be updated, too.

Issue #117 points out that we are using the 'type' attribute on <a> tags
incorrectly. To close #117, we'll have to get rid of type="cancel", too.

The changes on this branch address the issue:

Those changes can be tested using the form-test.html test page an updated

The changes on the msgilligan-formn-submnit-issue332 branch also seem to
provide a 'final' fix for Issue #208.
