ie_button_fix.js

//  IE doesn't deal well with button elements. 
//  The following jQuery code fixes the two most common issues:
//    1. All button values being submitted whether they were clicked or not
//    2. Button labels being submitted instead of the value of the value attribute
//  Make sure you have loaded jQuery, of course.

if ($.browser.msie) {
  jQuery(function() { 
    $('form button[type=submit]').click(function() {
      // Handle on the button clicked
      var obj = $(this);
      // Disable all buttons (keeps their values from being submitted)
      $('button').attr('disabled', 'disabled'); 
      // Get the text label of the button
      var label = obj.text(); 
      // Set it to an empty string so IE will read the real value attribute
      obj.text('');
      // Create a hidden field with the name and value of the button
      obj.after($("<input/>").attr('type', 'hidden').attr('name', obj.attr('name')).val(obj.attr('value'))); 
      // Restore the button's text label
      obj.text(label); 
      // Submit the form
      obj.closest('form').submit(); 
    });
  });
