ACK, but this line is not invalid. <http://validator.w3.org/>

There is no inherent advantage in using `.location.href' over `.location'.
In fact, by contrast the `href' property of Location instances is tainted,
and so subject to the SOP (that does not matter here).

No, the `submit' event of the form should be cancelled instead. Or a submit
button should not be used in the first place, or scripting should not be
used in the first place.

Thanks for the links. They contains much more information from MDC,
but again i don't see any explanations about, how internal setter of
window.location works.

Yes, yes, yes. Apologize for my terminology here.

Nice to see, your correction again. Sometimes you are make ironical
comment, but when you corrected my, i learn properly terminology.
Thanks.

It is not merely a matter of terminology here, though.

Preventing the default action of (or cancelling) the `click' event of the
submit button means, in a nutshell:

<input type="submit" ... onclick="return false">

Cancelling (or preventing the default action of) the `submit' event of the
form means, in a nutshell

<form ... onsubmit="return false">

The former approach is known to be error-prone and harder to maintain.

You are welcome.
