Right.  Obviously there is some kind of misunderstanding here (probably 
because of my naming) because that
is what I was doing.

When you submit a form using struts framework. Every param+value pair is
saved into your ActionForm. Param is the name of your ActionForm's member
variable. If the widget is a button and you want to read the value, either
use request.getAttribute("myButton") or use ActionForm.getMyButton.

Why wouldn't there be a member variable?  In the form?

<html:submit property="submitButtonName" value="WhateverValueIWantInHere">
submit is there just because i put property="submit".
I could have called it property="yellowdinosaurwithpurplepolkadots" and 
it would still work (i think, never tried a name that long).

I am really confused by what you are saying here...

Because there is no member variable to store the value of submit button.
Plus you cannot guarantee request.getParameter("submit") returning value

some browsers.

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?

And me for not testing on IE.

Now I have to redesign half my webapp!

And why is this implemented if IE (90% of population out there) 
cannot use the feature?

Gah.  Now to figure out an elegant way of fixing this....
    

       

Maybe you could have JavaScript that detects which button was clicked 
and changes the value of a hidden form field just before the 
submission occurs?

Kind of inelegant, but it might work.  It's only as reliable as 
JavaScript, though.

Good luck, that sucks if you have to re-do work.
