Button tag not working in IE 7

Question

I have form that takes input and i have submit button and reset input type... i have issue with submit button tag in IE 7, all rest of browser and IE version >7 working fine...

here is my code ...

 <form id="form_searchProperty" action="../jQuery Search Engine/searchPage01.html"> //input tag for form value <div class="submitCriteria"> <button class="button_submit" >Search</button> <input class="button_reset" type="reset" /> </div> </form>

jQuery function

 $("#form_searchProperty").submit(function () { var givenCriteria = $(this).serializeArray(); });

Not sure I get it? A button inside a form will submit the form, so you need to prevent that, but your javascript function doesn't really do anything? What seems to be the problem! — adeneo

Use the type submit,

<button class="button_submit" type='submit' >Search</button>

<button> does NOT submit forms unless you tell it to - at least, it's not supposed to. It does in some browsers, for some annoying reason.

Why not use an actual submit button?

<input type="submit" class="button_submit" value="Search" />
