Fix form handling in IE 10.
In IE10, it seems that normal links are routed fine, but forms are not.
Minimal example: http://jsfiddle.net/xg4Hr/2/ - In Firefox and Chrome,
clicking the GET and POST buttons display "GET" and "POST" as you'd
expect. In IE10, the Davis.js routing is ignored and you get a 404
error. I narrowed the problem down to the originChecks function in
davis.listener.js, on this line:
a.href = elem.action
In Firefox and Chrome, this will make a.host equal to the domain
name. In IE10, the port number gets stuck on the end of a.host, for
some reason. This makes this.A(a) on the next line return false since
Davis.js thinks it is an external link. I worked around this by creating
a2 to compare with a.
