(Although it will no longer be a submit button, so you'll have to capture the click and perform the submit using Javascript which leads back to accessibility issues, etc.) If you mean a BUTTON element of the type="submit", then not exactly. It *will* send a preset value for sure, but that preset value will differ depending on the browser. I've found that while FF will send the value you set in the value="..." attribute, IE will send the actual text of the button. Thus, <button name="test" value="blue">My Button Text</button> will send 'test=blue' in FF, but 'test=My+Button+Text' in IE. I'm assuming this is because for <INPUT type="submit"> buttons, the text content of the button IS the value in the value="..." attribute. Whatever the reason, that was a fun lesson to track down the first time I had people tell me a page I wrote didn't work in IE.
