Description

[Ari]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 (Macintosh; U; PPC)
BuildID:    2000061411

							In the page www.icab.de/test.html, Mozilla 
correctly displays form elements using the 'button' tag when the button text is 
between the opening and closing button tags as in: <button>foo</button>. However, 
it does not display button text when it is placed in the 'value' property of the 
tag as in <button value="foo"></button>.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to www.icab.de/test.html
2.look at the only incorrectly displayed set of buttons in the form toward the 
bottom.
3.

Actual Results:  							The buttons that used the 
button tag and had their text placed in their 'value' properties did not display 
properly.

Expected Results:  							The text in the 'value' 
property should be displayed as the button text.

							<button value="foo"></button> creates a 
button without text in it when the button should contain the text "foo"

This is invalid, look at this in the spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.5

the value property is only for submittal for the new html4 "button" tag.
