Why can't you depend on it? I've never had any problem getting the value of a submit button from a submitted form in IE or any other browser. The submit button is just another form parameter, so it gets passed like any other form field (ie. Textfield, password field, checkbox, etc.).
I am rather curious as to what has led you to believe that IE won't send the value of a submit button to a web application. The only thing I can think of, is if you use a <input type="button" .../> tied to a javascript function, instead of <input type="submit" ... />. Then the name of the button wouldn't be submitted unless it was specifically added it to the request inside the javascript function. (I hope that made sense.)

Plus you cannot guarantee request.getParameter("submit") returning value for some browsers. -----Original Message----- From: Denis Avdic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: May 28, 2003 2:23 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [RANT/FLAME] Re: Submit Value Actually, I just tried taking the value from request and it works. If I do request.getParameter("submit"); it returns value, but if i go myForm.getSubmit(); it does not. Weird. Only IE I can test right now is whatever comes with XP. Anyone have any other experiences with this?
