Yep, same thing. I guess I'll add it to my list of "why form is not submitting" list (in russian though)

The default appears to be working in IE8 -- both forms in your demo page post just fine!

3. kangax at 10:46am on December 27, 2008

Yep, IE8 works

4. cnspider at 8:07pm on January 11, 2009

"<button type="submit">Submit</button>",IE8 works!
"<button>Submit</button>" not!

Why would you use <button> instead of <input>?

Are you guys new to web development? I thought you were supposed to be experts?

Use:
<input type="submit" value="Text to appear on button" />

And then you won't have to post to your blog and expose how inexperienced you are when you can't make a submit button work.

Ugh.

@jack I never used to use buttons either, I only started using buttons recently, hence the learning bump.

I like buttons. I think they're swell. What's wrong with buttons?

7. jack at 4:42pm on January 23, 2009

Buttons blow.

@jack

Not knowing when to use <button> instead of <input> makes YOU look really inexperienced.

I'm using it right now because I need to style the submit button with a sliding doors technique that works in FF3 and IE6+7.

<button><span><span>Jack is rude and ignorant</span></span></button>

Umm, yeah, no.

Nesting spans because you have no skills _proves_ you are inexperienced, weak, and you have a gay porn mustache. Beat it.

The world would be a better place w/o trolls like Jack.

hey guys, this is suppose to be a learning blog, heheeh, please stop that...


well i'm using <input type="submit"  /> in my works since JSF's <h:commandButton /> generates that..

if you put <button /> tags inside a form, the values submitted will vary from browser to browwer. Internet Explorer will submit the text between the <button> and </button> tags, while other browsers will submit the content of the value attribute. Use the input element to create buttons in an HTML form.
