IE8 problem with forms

[spruis]

I'm pretty sure the problem is IE8 but not positive. I was able to successfully submit a form page using IE7 and also on Mozilla Firefox but for some reason it doesn't work on IE8. It also doesn't store the form submission within admin and after submitting the form it redirects to the homepage when I have it set to go to a thank you page. Again everything works fine in IE7 and firefox so I am beginning to think it is a browser issue. The question I have is how can I fix it?

This is regarding a form page created in WB and it can be found here:

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

did you already have a closer look at the validator  http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stmarysterling.com%2Fpages%2Fparish-ministries%2Fformation-ministries%2Fwhy-catholic%2Fwhy-catholic-sign-up.php and to your sourcecode of that page? E.G. line 27/28 could cause problems.

But that is not only a fault of this page, as you can see here http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stmarysterling.com%2Findex.php

Edit:

on some pages, e.g. here http://www.stmarysterling.com/pages/sacraments/eucharist.php I fond parts of MSWord-code (look for "Mso") in the sourcecode. This can cause big problems, especially in IE. I know lots of threads in different forums, where IE even could not show a page because of that. If you copy content from word, it would be much better to paste it into notepad and then copy that and paste it to WB. Or you should use a small and very handy freeware, called puretext.

Edit1: sorry for my very bad english. I hope you have a chance to understand what I whant to express.
