Re^2: <INPUT type="image"> problem with IE browser

It's a problem with IE

I think that's overstating the case. IE is doing exactly what it should be doing. Firefox has added some new and useful behaviour. But it's non-standard* and IE can't be expected to support it.

* Or, at least, I can't find any standards that mandate the Firefox behaviour.

A form data set is a sequence of control-name/current-value pairs constructed from successful controls and if a form contains more than one submit button, only the activated submit button is successful while image creates a graphical submit button. It does say: The submitted data includes name.x=x-value and name.y=y-value where "name" is the value of the name attribute, and x-value and y-value are the x and y coordinate values, respectively. ... but I can't see anywhere that it says the normal behaviour of other form controls (submitting the name/value pair) doesn't apply as well.
