forms - A problem with button tag

I have a form with a button in it

It submits my form in opera, in firefox but ie DOESNT submit the form when i click the button. The button just goes up-down but the form is not submitted. What's wrong? Maybe someone already encountered this prob.

Thanks in advance

You need a type="submit" parameter. If that does not solve the problem, post the code for your whole form.

Edit: Ha. Beat you by a few seconds.

Thanks guys. I've added type='submit' attribute so now it works. But IE sends what is between opening and closing tags i.e. 'Add' How could I fix it? I want the button to display arbitary text f.e. 'Add user' or the like but to send digits or single characters. I dont know how to do it. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, MS did their own thing again and the <button value="..." parameter does not work - http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_BUTTON_VALUE.html

Yeah, unfortunately...I knew about it but I thought may be someone had invented a workaround.. Anyway thanks.

I recommend using a different name="..." for the different function buttons and just check for the resultant variable with that name being set to determine which button was pressed.

Thank you. I'm gonna follow you advice. I think it's the most covinient way in this case. But there may be a leak in security in parsing code, 'caz it's possible to form a request containing both fields - opadd and opsub set so switch-break or if - elseif will be a more secure decision.
