I dealt with this with the following strategy: On any page that uses at least one image submit button (even if there are also normal submit buttons on the page), add a hidden form parameter named "submitMethod" (the parameter normally set by the submit button). Change all the submit buttons (not just the image ones) to use a different parameter (it will be ignored). Add a javascript function to set the "submitMethod" parameter. Set the "onclick" event on all the submit buttons to call that function, sending the desired "submitMethod" value. Add comment chastising IE.
