  Exactly.  I learned this the hard way.  Don't rely on the submit button at 
  all.  IE has all kinds of quirks where the button's value may not get 
  passed if the user submits the form by hitting Enter instead of clicking 
  the button.  Hidden values are the way to go.  The only time you could rely 
  on buttons is if you have a form with multiple submit buttons.  One button 
  is the "default" submit button (i/e the one that gets highlighted when you 
  click within the form), the rest must be clicked to be submitted.  For 
  these, you could use their name/values.
