When a form is submitted, javascript execution is stopped.
I'm using a javascript to periodically update a textarea, and 
when I submit the form, this update is stopped. 
This page works okay with safari 2, firefox 2&3, ie 6&7.


# test.html
<script src="javascripts/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
function updateMonitorComplete(request) {
    //new Insertion.Top('monitor', request.responseText);
    $('monitor').value = request.responseText;
}

function updateMonitorCall() {
    new Ajax.Request('/monitor_test.php',
        {
          asynchronous:true,
          onComplete: updateMonitorComplete
        }
    );
}

new PeriodicalExecuter(updateMonitorCall, 1);
</script>

<form action='monitor_test_form.php'>
<textarea id='monitor' name='monitor'>
</textarea>
<input type=submit>
</form>


# monitor_form_test.php
<? sleep(10); ?>


# monitor_test.php
<? echo time(); ?>
