Description

After upgrading to Tapestry 5.2.0 I experienced an Javascript error upon submitting a form. It's a plain form defined in the template, not a Form component.

The error is:
tapestry.js, line 1462: 'undefined' is null or not an object

This happened in IE8. It's reproducible with and without enabling IE7 compatible mode. A user on the mailing list suggested that he saw similar error messages in his FF console.

I saw this for the forst time after upgrading to Tapestry 5.2.0.

I would expect, Tapestry not interacting with a form in the template, as long as it's plain markup and not a form component.
