Submit Comment = Search Results?

    I am working on a design and I’ve never experienced this kind of behavior before. On the comments form, when you hit “submit comment”, you get search results. It’s like the wp-comments-post form action isn’t there – but it is.

    Here’s the comment form:

    <?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
<h3><?php _e('Leave a comment'); ?></h3>

<?php if ( get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID ) : ?>
<p>You must be <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php the_permalink(); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.</p>
<?php else : ?>

<form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">

<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>

<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="<?php _e('Log out of this account') ?>">Logout &raquo;</a></p>

<?php else : ?>

<p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="40" tabindex="1" />
<label for="author"><small>Name</small></label></p>

<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo $comment_author_email; ?>" size="40" tabindex="2" />
<label for="email"><small>Mail (required, will not be published)</small></label></p>

<p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" size="40" tabindex="3" />
<label for="url"><small>URL</small></label></p>

<?php endif; ?>

<p><?php do_action('comment_toolbar', 'comment'); ?></p>

<p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="45" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>

<p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
<input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
</p>
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>

</form>

    Does anyone have any idea why this might be occuring? The resulting URL looks like this:

    ?s=search+entries&comment=trying+again.&submit=Submit+Comment&comment_post_ID=44&_wp_unfiltered_html_comment=3a4079a5f0

    I do have a .search class in my CSS, a searchform.php and search results php. I do not have a .submit class.

    I have applied the default comment form to the theme and it behaves the same way.

    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    After removing the searchform.php, that is what is conflicting with the comments form submit.

    I’d love to know how to revise the searchform so that it doesn’t behave this way – here’s the code:

    <form method="get" id="search_form" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>" />
	<input name="s" type="text" class="search_input" id="s" size="30" onfocus="if (this.value == 'search entries') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'search entries';}" value="search entries" />
	<input type="hidden" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />

    got it. nevermind. if anyone else has this issue, here are the searchform revisions:

    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<div><input type="text" class="search_input" size="25" value="search entries" name="s" id="s" onfocus="if (this.value == 'search entries') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'search entries';}" />
 <input type="hidden" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

    I am having a related problem I think. When I hit the “submit comments” button, the window for subscribing to my feedburner email subscription pops up! I am not sure how to approach debugging this… can anyone help?
