I have IE6, fully patched. I have a web page containing a
form (method=POST) which has multiple <button type=submit
name='n' value='x'> elements. All of these buttons have
the same name 'n', and with different values 'x' for each
button. When I click on one of these buttons the form
data contains the text (from between the <button> tags)
for every such button.
In IE5 (and Netscape 7.1) you only get the data from the
value attribute of the button you clicked on. I checked
the HTML4.01 spec at W3C: para 17.13.2 it says that the
behaviour of IE5 and Netscape7.1 is correct, and that the
behaviour of IE6 is wrong...
I believe this is a bug which is not addressed by any of
the existing patches. Can someone tell me how to report
this to Microsoft, without paying for the privilege of
doing so!
