Button Element and Internet Explorer 6.0

[Dom]

Hi,

I wanted to use the Button Element to submit a form like this example:

<form action="/test.exe" method="post">
<button id="ID_BUTTON_O K" name="_WEB_EVEN T_HANDLER_" type="submit"
value="ID_BUTTO N_OK">Login</button>
</form>
If I submit the form, the _WEB_EVENT_HAND LER_ gets the value "Login",
but as defined in HTML 4.01 the value which is submitted should be the
value field in the Button Element ("ID_BUTTON_ OK" in this case).
I'm using the newest Internet Explorer Series 6. At the Mozilla
Browser it works perfectly!

Is the Internet Explorer doing this thing totally wrong??? Or am I
doing this thing wrong? Thank's for help!

Just to be clear: I did not write that, I quoted it. DMassey wrote it.
In other words, the answer to the question of whether submit buttons
will ever work correctly in IE, the answer is no.

The answer is "not necessarily".

I understand that. I'm just a tad hostile toward MS for not fixing
these little but annoying bugs in *years*. It wasn't meant to be personal.
