The version that is on Test.JumpBox was just intended as a
demonstration, not necessarily a full-fledged example.  
That said, I'm not sure why you'd be getting the second form,
unless your browser is ignoring the JavaScript for some reason,
in which case it's the submit button that is causing the problem.

Is there a page or site where I could see this not working?
(Feel free to create a demonstration on pmwiki.org.)
