On IE8 at least, the following does not work. (Using rails.js of November 07, 2011)

1. Load the HTML below into IE8
2. Open the developer tools (F12) and switch to the log console on the scripts subtab
3. Press the Submit button

The first log statement is printed to the console, but the second log statement results in an error:

'preventDefault' is null or not an object

Removing the rails.js include or the data-remote attribute on the form makes it all work again.

```html
