[thelist] Getting <button> to send value

Hi,

Why does <button> send the value as what's between the tag rather than sending
what's specified in value="" ?

I'm using ASP and with the button below instead of sending the value 't2value'
it sends this:

%3CSPAN+style%3D%22TEXT-DECORATION%3A+underline%22%3EP%3C%2FSPAN%3Eopulate

Which is what's between the <button></button> tags.

<button name="t2" value="t2value" type="submit"><span style="text-decoration:
underline;">P</span>opulate</button>

I've googled but can't seem to find the right keywords.

TIA,
Craig.
