Due to the specs the value, not the content, is the "inital value" and 
only the activated (pressed) should be "successfull" and submitted. So 
MSIE is wrong, the others right.

I have hade the same problem and if I remember correctly the name and 
content pairs of all buttons where submitted by MSIE (not only the one 
activated). I had to use <input type="submit"/> instead.
