This is a browser quirk and it makes a difference because some browsers promote form element names to be properties of the form object completely overriding property/functions of the same name than already exist. In the case of file uploads, the form plugin needs to invoke the native "submit" function on the form, but it will be unable to do so (in IE) if there is an element named "submit". So the alert is meant to help you out. Mike
