76208 - Form submission doesn't send form elements of type "submit"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Si Ly]

When submitting a form, Mozilla doesn't send the name/value of form elements of
type "submit", e.g. <input type="submit" name="foo" value="bar">.

This is similar to Bug #19336, except this has nothing to do with JavaScript,
Servlets, or missing default values for the submit button.  Actually, that bug
was originally the same as this one, but it has since been edited to describe
only the case where the button was missing a default value.

To reproduce, grab the latest trunk build and do the following:
1. Visit http://www.sily.net/form-test.jsp
2. Click one of the two submit buttons.
3. Note that the URL requested is missing the name/value pair for the submit button.

I have verified this with the Linux build only.  Not sure if this applies to
other versions.

Fix checked in (with slight modification to hold content instead of frame
pointer in event).

To verify, view the testcase in the URL:
http://www.sily.net/form-test.jsp

Click on the submit button labeled "foo".
When the new page laods, the text in the URL bar should end with "&submit=foo".
