html - Cross-browser and JavaScript-less solution to submit button value issue -

given following 2 buttons:

<button type="submit" name="mybutton" value="foo">do foo</button> <button type="submit" name="mybutton" value="bar">do bar</button> 

when clicking these buttons, browsers except ie7 , below post button's value ("foo" or "bar"), whereas ie7 , below instead post text ("do foo" or "do bar").

(this mvc project, issue not specific mvc.)

this thread has lot of answers, none of them work when:

• the value , text different, and
• javascript disabled

we want support flexible button text business can change these through our cms without code change. can't assume our text , values same. don't want depend on javascript solve this.

however, can't think of way solve without either requiring javascript, or keeping value , text same.

the usual hack key off name instead of value.

<button type="submit" name="mybutton_foo" value="foo">do foo</button> <button type="submit" name="mybutton_bar" value="bar">do bar</button> 

then search submitted form values ones match pattern /^mybutton_(.*)$/. there examples variety of languages (although not c#) in an article wrote years ago.
