Bob Schellink commented on CLK-520:
-----------------------------------
Just tested and noticed the following issues with "button" in IE6/7. (IE8 seems
to have fixed the issues but only for standards mode)
- IE will submit the button's inner html instead of its value.
- IE will submit the values of other buttons to the server as well so you
cannot discern which button was submitted. (limited to IE6 only)
I agree that button has much better rendering capabilities, however IE doesn't
play well with it.
Here is the test used:
<html>
<body>
<form target="" method="get">
<button type="submit" name="one" value="oneValue">First Button
Pressed</button>
<button type="submit" name="two" value="twoValue">Second Button
Pressed</button>
</form>
<form target="" method="get">
<input type="submit" name="one" value="oneValue"/>
<input type="submit" name="two" value="twoValue"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
> Button should be rendered as "button"

>
> Button controls should be rendered as "button" HTML elements not as "input".
> The actual implementation seems to use "input" of type "button" but that is
> quite misleading since with
> that type of tag, it's not possible to embed icons or span tags or something
> else(the "button" tag would normally allow) in the button to make it look
> better or what the requirements ask.
> The "input" element seems to have only a "value" attribute.
> E.g. adding an icon before the button text (in the button body) it's a very
> common requirement (so I think it should work as default).
> Button tag also has "type" (e.g. of 'submit', 'cancel' , 'button'), so
> derived controls of class Button would behave as before.
> thanks,
> Joseph.
