Some browsers send it, some send only the x/y co-ordinates.

I don't recognise this style of error message, which suggests that you are using HTML 5 mode. From the draft HTML 5 specification: The element's value attribute must be omitted. — http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#image-button-state So this is not a bug. I assume the attribute was forbidden because common current browsers fail to implement it so that while it would be backwards compatible with HTML 4, it is not compatible with browsers in practice. > Element-specific attributes for element input: … > value If this is output from the validator, then the list of acceptable attributes is a bug, but the reporting that the value attribute is forbidden is not. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
