limbworks on "Trouble with custom styled MailChimp embed form"

Hello there,

I have a MailChimp form issue and would appreciate any help from the WP community.

I am using an embedded MailChimp form I copied from my MC control panel. The form works fine until I add customized <div> tags to the code, then it stops functioning properly. The form data is submitted when the user clicks "Submit", however, the form does not send the user to the proper page with the double opt-in message. The form simply stays static, appearing as if it has not functioned.

Here is the code I'm using (also available at http://pastebin.com/puBLwZgw). All I've added is some <div> tags & changed the submit button to an image. Otherwise, I have touched nor deleted any code that should affect functionality.

<div id="customform">

Thanks again for your time. I've contacted MailChimp support and they say they do not offer support for any customization of their embedded form. I'm hoping someone here can help.
