A while back I heard of some weird things with IE relative to testing 
for 'submit'.  Try putting a hidden field in the form and setting it to 
a value of "1".  eg. a field named "go".

<input type="hidden" name="go" value="1">

Then the test would be:

if (isset($_POST['submit']) || isset($_POST['go'])) {
	// stuff...


see if that changes anything..
