[FX.php List] Problems w/ Internet Explorer 7 (submit via image)

[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

// the following did not work in IE7, although it works in other browsers
<input type="image" name="application"  value="submit" src="images/submit.gif">

// but this seems to work fine in all browsers:
<input type="submit" name="application" value="submit">

I have a fix for all IE browsers myself for the cases where Return key
does not work
---
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
<input type="submit" name="action" value="submit">
---
Only the last variable set will remain after sending the form data,
problem with IE is that if you press Return key,
the value from submit does not come along,
but if you push that submit button by mouse the value will be from the
submit button will show on the receiving page.
