Another suggestion would be to use the <Input> tag as suggested by Richard, but rename the "name" value ie: <input type="submit" name="btid1" value="Delete" /> <input type="submit" name="btid2" value="Delete" /> <input type="submit" name="btid3" value="Delete" /> You can then use your PHP variable $_POST["btid1"], $_POST["btid2"] or $_POST["btid3"], etc, to determine relevant actions. -----Original Message----- From: Angus Mann [mailto:angusmann@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 02 April 2009 12:45 PM To: Richard Heyes Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Button id's - firefox and IE different ? I can do as you suggest below, but then the buttons are labelled "Delete" "Cancel" and "Save" to the user. The essential point is that they all need to say "Delete". I know I can accomplish this by making multiple forms, each with its own button but for my purpose that's a pain is the ***. IE returns the text displayed in the button regardless of the "btid" value. It seems to just ignore it. Firefox returns the value assigned to "btid" as I intended regardless of the text in the button that the user sees. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Heyes" <richard@xxxxxxx> To: "Angus Mann" <angusmann@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 8:17 PM Subject: Re: Button id's - firefox and IE different ? >> Any suggestions ? > > Try this: > > <input type="submit" name="btid" value="Delete" /> > <input type="submit" name="btid" value="Cancel" /> > <input type="submit" name="btid" value="Save" /> > > > And then you can check the value of $_POST['btid'].
