  First of all, (optional) on tumblr doesn’t really mean anything, because you can blank post with a title, and the other way around.

  Second of all, <BUTTON> and <INPUT> are completely impossible to use cross-browser. The scoop:

  • IE6 and below default the type attribute of a button to button instead of submit. This is easily worked around.
  • IE7 and below submit the HTML source of the button instead of its value attribute. This is an atrocity.
  • IE (all versions) submits the full path of the uploaded file instead of simply its name. This is both an annoyance to the developer and a small privacy leak.
  • For input type=image, Chrome and Firefox ≤ 3 submit the name=value in addition to name.x=[x] and name.y=[y]. This is nonsensical.
