     It is over a thousand lines, and I do not know where the error
is.  I was hoping to get a bit of guidance as to what to look for.

     I suspect some interaction of events, but that is about all I
have.

     I would like a non-trivial skeleton of a form submit, something
that accounts for events.  I can find trivial examples easily enough.
I need something more sophisticated.  I can adapt that to fit my
needs.

     I am using IE9 under Windows 7.

     Yes.

     Yes.  Much of the code is generated, so it is make it work once
and reuse.

     As well as validation, the control-level validation also does
data cleanup (e.g. capitalisation).  The controls that also have a
validation expression are the troublesome ones IT SEEMS.

     For now, I am using the button.  Why does the event not fire
reliably?

     Oh, my.  Something else to worry about.  It seems it never ends.

     I would like to deal with the current problem first.
