---- Button tag does not send it's form variable in IE

There seems to be a general problem with this one:

<button name='f1' value='1'>Garbage</button>

In Firefox, the POST variable is f1=>1 -- exactly what I would expect, but in IE6, it is f1=>Garbage

Just explain, I am using <button> in order to modify post-processing defendant on the button pressed. Firefox only receives the button name which was pressed (e.g., name='f1' and name='f2' -- press button 'f2' and 'f1' does not appear in the POST list. In IE, both appear, and with the following text as a value.

Does anybody have any idea how to get around this, or is it a feature?
