Due to the specs the value, not the content, is the "inital value" and only the activated (pressed) should be "successfull" and submitted. So MSIE is wrong, the others right. I have hade the same problem and if I remember correctly the name and content pairs of all buttons where submitted by MSIE (not only the one activated). I had to use <input type="submit"/> instead. -- Christian Ottosson http://christian.ottosson.name/ () ASCII Ribbon Campaign -- against HTML mail & vCards /\ http://arc.pasp.de/
