Thanks a lot for this article. I have been fighting with this for a couple of hours and thought there was something wrong with my html understanding. I’ll have a look through all the workarounds now to find a solution.

Lets not forget that on top of this bug (with multiple submit buttons) that IE also suffers from another bug with button elements, which renders them completely useless.

When the form is submitted, the wrong value is passed to the server, so they can’t even be used due to an IE bug!

Hint #3

function antiMilitaryTime() {
if (hr == 12) { ampm = “Noon” }
if (hr == 0 || hr == 24) { ampm = “Midnight”; hr = 12 }
if (hr 12) { ampm = “P.M.”; hr -= 12 }
}

Hint #1:
function antiMilitaryTime() {
if (hr – 12 >= 0) {
hr -= 12
if (hr != 12) {
ampm = “P.M.”
}
if (hr == 0)
{
hr = 12
}
}
}

Hint #2:
Don’t use Microsoft FrontPage.
