Matt, don't use <input type='submit'
it's old java Struts 1.2 style, bleah.. and typical of old MVC action based frameworks.
use <button> intead.
This makes no sense. <input type=submit value=foo> is identical to <button type=submit>foo</button> in terms of submission behavior. It's also usually identical in default appearance. There's not intended to be any difference between them. There is certainly no difference in terms of style or framework.
The OP's problem is that an input needs a 'name' attribute to be included in the submitted data. A submit button without a 'name' attribute will still submit the form, but won't place its value in the data, so you can't tell which button was used to submit it.
