IE never ceases to piss me off! I’ve been working on this shopping for one of my site, and I have several button’s within the same form, depending on which one you choose will send you to a different page. In my case an update button and checkout button. The problem is with IE, it doesnt recognize a button as a HTML input DOM. The traditional name and value gets translated into ?name=value, in IE it see’s it as a sorta of image map. When you click the image button all it sends are the coordinates on the button you clicked. As in action_update.x=10 action_update.y = 9. Because of that the standard $_REQUEST['action_update'] wont work. Here is the code I used to fix it so I can tell if someone clicked a certain button. Heres the code for the fix.

HTML:

<form>
     <input type="image" src="button_image.jpg" name="action_update"
          value="update" />
     <input type="image" src="button_image.jpg" name="action_checkout"
          value="checkout" />
</form>

PHP:

<?PHP
     if($_REQUEST['action_update']=='update'||
           isset($_REQUEST['action_update_x'])) {
               /* do something */
     }
     if($_REQUEST['action_checkout']=='update'||
          isset($_REQUEST['action_checkout_x'])) {
               /* do something */
     }
?>

Hope that helps

I’ve recently been experimenting with changing my lifestyle, and the biggie for me is drinking tea. I’ve been using the standard teapot making a bunch of different tea’s, however its time where I need a infuser. I found a video by kevin rose that helped me immensely. No infringement intended on posting it here, just want to get the info out there!

Cuil.com is pretty cool. I was checking it out after I read an article online that said it was live, and i have to say i like it a lot. The interface is pretty cool, it seems more easier on the eyes, and you don’t get inodated with a huge amount of search results. My last boss was big on search engines and finding the news and all that, and i remember him telling me cuil was gonna be big way back months ago when they first released a press release. We’ll see if hes right or not. My only cork to the entire engine is that my name comes in on the second page that sucks.
