. . THE GENERIC SOLUTION ========================== Here's your solution. You don't have to worry about Javascript or anything like that.
STEP 1: Create your button -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <button name='nav' value='next'>Next Page</button>
STEP 2: Create a hidden field for the button The hidden field should have the same value as the button but its name should be prefixed with 'iefix_' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <input type='hidden' name='iefix_nav' value='next' />
STEP 3: Fixing your $_POST Data -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a PHP code example. Basically, when you submit the form, at the very top of your page before you do anything with your form data, you run this function.
/* Start of function */ function fixPOST(){ foreach($_POST as $k=>$v){ if(substr($k,0,6) == "iefix_"){ $k2 = str_replace("iefix_","",$k); if(isset($_POST[$k2])){ $_POST[$k2] = $v; }unset($_POST[$k]);}}} /* End of function */
STEP 4: Check your POST data ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the function runs, print your post data and you should have everything in place just as you wanted it.

THE GENERIC SOLUTION
==========================
Here's your solution. You don't have to worry about Javascript or anything like that.
STEP 1: Create your button
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<button name='nav' value='next'>Next Page</button>
STEP 2: Create a hidden field for the button
The hidden field should have the same value as the button but its name should be prefixed with 'iefix_'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<input type='hidden' name='iefix_nav' value='next' />
STEP 3: Fixing your $_POST Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a PHP code example. Basically, when you submit the form, at the very top of your page before you do anything with your form data, you run this function.
/* Start of function */
function fixPOST(){
foreach($_POST as $k=>$v){
if(substr($k,0,6) == "iefix_"){
$k2 = str_replace("iefix_","",$k);
if(isset($_POST[$k2])){
$_POST[$k2] = $v;
}unset($_POST[$k]);}}}
/* End of function */
STEP 4: Check your POST data
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the function runs, print your post data and you should have everything in place just as you wanted it.

There should be a piece of code around that foreach statement in the fixPOST() function. This would be
if(count($_POST)){
}
Obviously, you do this to make sure the function only runs when $_POST data is detected. DOH!!!!
