Oddly, the <button/> element doesn't work well in Internet Explorer.
(I just checked.)
I have this form in an HTML page:
<form action="test.html" method="get">
<button name="btn" value="1" type="submit">Click</button>
<button name="btn" value="2" type="submit">Click 2</button>
</form>
Now, if you click on one of the buttons, only that button and its
value are supposed to be submitted. However, both are. Not only
that, but the button text is submitted, not the value:
file:///C:/work/scratch/test.html?btn=Click&btn=Click+2
Clicking the first button in Firefox gives me the URL:
file:///C:/work/scratch/test.html?btn=1
So, as long as you want to support Internet Explorer, there's not much
use to the <button> element as opposed to <input type="submit"/>.
