    -> Image submit buttons OK in Firefox, not in IExplorer. Why? <-

    Just a question using images as submit buttons and PHP4.4.4.
    It seems that my code correctly works in FireFox but not in IExplorer.

    For example, I have a FORM with 2 buttons called "search" and "save".
    In a second file, the one mentioned in the "action" parameter,
    I test which button has been clicked in order to decide which action
    to take.

    IExplorer doesn't get anything, FireFox correctly works.

    Example:

    file main.php
    =============
    <form id="myform" name="myform" method="post" action="process .php">
    ....
    <INPUT name="search" type="image" value="search"
    src="images/search.gif" alt="search" />
    <INPUT name="save" type="image" value="save"
    src="images/save.gif" alt="save" />
    </form>

    file process.php
    =============== =
    echo "***".$_POST."< BR>" ; // Always returns an empty Array
    if( isset($_POST['search'])) {
    header("Locatio n: ./search.php") ;
    }
    else
    if( isset($_POST['save'])) {
    header( "Location: ./save.php" ) ;
    }
    else {
    echo "Houston, we've got a problem<br />" ;
    }


    Firefox correctly sees the variables "search" and "save".
    Internet explorer always "contacts Houston".

    I have tried to name my two INPUT to "submit"

    <INPUT name="submit" type="image" value="search"
    src="images/search.gif" alt="search" />
    <INPUT name="submit" type="image" value="save"
    src="images/save.gif" alt="save" />

    and then check the value of the submit, using

    if( $_POST['submit'] == 'search' )...

    Doesn't work in IExplorer.


    Then I checked to see whether I have the search_x or save_x variable
    that are supposedly automatically created, but they don't exist in
    neither browser.
    That's why my echo $_POST returns nothing.

    What's wrong here?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.




    Sincerely,
    Steve JORDI

      Nothing's wrong with your code. IE's broke. For image buttons it only
      sends the x and y coordinates of the selection, not the value. IIRC,
      the correct values are $_POST['submit.x'] and $_POST['submit.y'] (which
      Firefox also correctly sends).

          Hi Jerry,

          Don't know why, but I had a hunch that you would be the one answering
          :-)

          >Nothing's wrong with your code. IE's broke.
          Argh! Stupid IE!
          >For image buttons it only sends the x and y coordinates of the
          >selection, not the value.
          Yes I know but I could have been checking their existence to
          determine which button has been pressed.
          If $search.x existed, I would know that the user would have clicked
          the search button.

          Oh well, I'll force the user to use FireFox. After all they pretend
          to be professional, so they have no excuse to use a "toy" like IE.

          Thanks

          Sincerely,
          Steve JORDI

              Actually, I think the correct vars are $_POST['submit_x'] and
              $_POST['submit_y']
              (with underscore).

                      Actually, I think the correct vars are $_POST['submit_x'] and
                      $_POST['submit_y']
                      (with underscore).

                      Yes, you're correct, Ed. Thanks for the correction!
