I have created an online multi-event registration process, which doesn't
behave the way it should with Safari only as is explained below. This
online registration works with IE 6.0, Netscape 6.0 +, Firefox and
Konqueror.

When I go to the event selection page with checkboxes to select the
events I want to register for, the submit button has the value of
"Continue" and the name of "request". My PHP script checks for the value
of "request" and produces a form for personal information with the list
of selected events at the top, which it does. The form is to also have a
submit button at the bottom named "request" and the value "Submit".
However, for some reason, Safari will give it the value "Continue". So,
when I submit my personal information with the "Continue" button instead
of "Submit", it produces the form I just filled in again with no list of
selected events, blank fields and this time with the submit button
having the proper value.

By chance, I also noticed that if I reload the personal information form
after it comes up with the wrong submit button value, it will then come
up with the correct value. Of course, that can't be expected of users to
do. So, for now I have changed the name for the submit button on the
event selection page, and all is fine.

If anyone knows why this is or if it is a Safari bug, please share.

Thanks.

Perhaps Submit is somehow a reserved word.

Only for the VALUE attribute to INPUT (assuming we're talking about HTML
4.01.)
