Hi guys, I have a slight problem, I am trying to capture the input of two buttons, one yes, one no, into a database but for some reason the database doesn't always show the value of the button clicked, it just shows up blank.
<form action="refer.php" method="post" id="formID" >
<div class="prompt_container" style="float: left;">
<span class="prompt_item"><input type="image" src="images/yes.jpg" alt="submit" value="yes" onclick="this.disabled=true,this.form.submit();" /></span>
<input type="hidden" name="refer" value="yes">
</div>
</form>
<form action="thank_you.php" method="post" id="formID" >
<div class="prompt_container" style="float: right;">
<span class="prompt_item"><input type="image" src="images/no.jpg" alt="submit" value="no" onclick="this.disabled=true,this.form.submit();" /></span>
<input type="hidden" name="refer" value="no" >
</div>
</form>
Apparently anything lower than IE8 will ignore the value attribute of all form inputs.
How could I get this to work properly in all browsers? jQuery or Javascript maybe?
