<button> will not send it's name in the form post you will need to use <input type="submit|image">. One IE gotcha to watch out for is that if you do not have more than one visible input box the name of the submit button will only be sent if the user clicks the button and will not be sent if the user focuses in that field and presses the enter key. The input type of image will send the button name.x and name.y to the request, only checking for name in this instance will return null.
Hope that helps.

Maybe I don't understand your question. Can you give me a code example?

And how do I do the same if I can't use buttons from the type Submit? (<input type="submit">) (cause of pictures) How do I get the pressed button there for example <input type="image"> or <button>some image</button> -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Margaret Fisk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 10.

Then you can act based on the value of the button that is returned. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Hanel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 12:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: get the pressed button.
