Another IE headache


Here's one.

It seems that in Internet Explorer if a submit button is not visible or hidden during a JQuery .submit() event triggered by a press of the enter key, the form does not submit! Clicking the submit button works fine.

Take the following code:

1.	$('#myform').live('submit', function(){ 
2.		alert('submitting);
3.		$('#submitbutton').hide(); 
4.	});

If the enter key is pressed, the code on line 3 is parsed and Internet Explorer stops submitting the form. If I rem out line 3, the alert fires and form submits.

Once again, this code works fine if the form is submitted by clicking on the submit button
