Input Image Post on Click

[Templarian]

The bottom example works in Firefox but not in IE.

Example:

<form method="POST" action="?action=testing">
button1: <input type="image" name="btn" id="btn" value="VALUE 1" /><br />
button2: <input type="image" name="btn" id="btn" value="VALUE 2" /><br />
button3: <input type="image" name="btn" id="btn" value="VALUE 3" /><br />
button4: <input type="image" name="btn" id="btn" value="VALUE 4" /><br />
button5: <input type="image" name="btn" id="btn" value="VALUE 5" />
</form>
<?php
if($_GET['action'] == 'testing'){
print($_POST['btn']);
}
?> What I want to Happen:
Button 3 is pushed so that ($_POST['btn'] == "VALUE 3") = true
Question:
So this possible or not?

Working Example (well working in FF):

Conclusion:
Not supported by IE. Given up and recoding system.

Try writing "button" for the input type. I don't know, but I think that'll work.

For it to be valid XHTML :nerd: , you can't have the same id on a page twice. That probably won't fix the problem because browsers are pretty forgiving about that. But I mention it because we're talking about Internet Explorer here.

Works in IE when the type is submit... wierd. Anyway to get around this if not i'll just use some javascript work around (but i have to change a lot of code by hand and would like to do it this way).

Found nice work around in JS.
