I don't know about just buttons, but submit buttons are sent only in
quantity of one: the one which was clicked. Also, wnen I tested my
dispatch action, I saw that if no buttons clicked, then browser still
sends one, that was defined first.

Never saw it too, tried it, and it did not work on Firefox.

There is Dakota's SimpleDispatchAction or mine SelectAction, which
allows to put whatever one likes into value attribute, because they
use name attribute for dispatching.

Michael.

P.S. MSIE also does not send clear name of image button, only as part
of name.x and name.y. Firefox sends all three: name, name.x and name.y
