HTML Form Button value is not posted in Safari and Chrome

Question

I am using jQuery to submit a form when a button is clicked. I would then like to test the value of the button, however, this doesn\'t get submitted in Safari and Chrome. Wh

Answer 1

As Robert says above when using the tag you need both name="" and value="", e.g.

Search

VS

Search

In this example your POST data would have the Key Value pair of:

Search Simple

or

Search Advanced

And then based on that POST value you can write your code to take the appropriate action. :)

i.e. you don't need to use input, just use button with name/value and you'll be fine.
