When you say it's "broken" you mean it doesn't adhere to the standards? Well, that seems to be the case with IE 5 and IE 6. These browsers only submits name.x=xx&name.y=yy values, no name=value in the querystring. Firefox on the other hand submits both. Whether you call it "broken" or not, the fact seems to remain that IE doesn't handle these buttons correctly, which in the long run means they are inaccessible. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
