 * Nothing is happening when I click the submit button for my form. I have an idea
   of what the issue is but am unsure how to resolve it. I wanted to use cufon so
   I change the submit from an input to button. See below…
 * Original Code:
    `<input class="button" type="submit" name="<?php echo __($instance['
   signup_text'], 'mailchimp-widget'); ?>" value="<?php echo __($instance['signup_text'],'
   mailchimp-widget'); ?>" />`
 * New Code:
    `<button class="button" type="button" name="<?php echo __($instance['
   signup_text'], 'mailchimp-widget'); ?>"><?php echo __($instance['signup_text'],'
   mailchimp-widget'); ?></button>`
 * Why would the button quit functioning with this change and how can I continue
   to use “button” and make it work?

 * I’m such a reject…I totally didn’t realize what I was missing until I pasted 
   the code. I needed to change button type to be “submit” so, now I have the following
   and it works.
 * `<button class="button" type="submit" name="<?php echo __($instance['signup_text'],'
   mailchimp-widget'); ?>"><?php echo __($instance['signup_text'], 'mailchimp-widget');?
   ></button>`
