Form submition beahviour - <button></button>


Hi

I've recently experienced the following dificulty with IE (6 and 7)
When using the <button></button> instead of <input> the submited value is
not what was expected.

Example:

<button type="submit" name="cmd" value="2">CONFIRM</button>

Submits ?cmd=CONFIRM when it should have submited ?cmd=2

It was supposed to behave like <input type="submit" name="cmd" value="2">
but insteads it is behaving like <input type="submit" name="cmd"
value="CONFIRM">

I couldn't figure out what is happening, could it be some configuration
option that i'm missing our its normal IE behaviour (I've tested with a
couple of other browsers and it looks like an IE only behaviour). If this is
the case, is there any workaround to this, besides abandoning the use of the
<button></button> input type.

TIA for your atention and time
