Multiple buttons in same form return wrong value in IE

Asked by tbboyett in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Java Programming Language, Java Servlets

I have a form with three buttons all with the same name but different value, and the action of the form calls a servlet where i check to see which one was selected.  

This works great with Firefox and Safari, but does not work with IE.  Instead IE returns the display name "Select" which is what the first button says in the html page.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?  all help greatly appreciated.Start Free Trial

// the three buttons
<button type="submit" name="process" value="select">Select</button>
<button type="submit" name="process" value="update">Update</button>
<button type="submit" name="process" value="pick">Pick</button>
 
// the servlet outputs which button was selected (except in IE)
button = request.getParameter("process");
out.println("Button: " + button);
