Html.BeginForm doesnt send input values to controller in IE

Question

My View looks like this:

    @using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    <div>            <input type="image" src='../../Content/themes/base/images/Wizard/btn_Finish.gif' height="25" width="80" name="finishButton" value="finish;@Model.QuestionID" style="margin-right: 50px; margin-top: 20px;" align="right"/>
        }
        else
        {
            <input type="image" src='../../Content/themes/base/images/Wizard/btn_Next.gif' height="25" width="80" name="nextButton" value="next;@Model.QuestionID" style="margin-right: 50px; margin-top: 20px;" align="right"/>
        }
        @if (Model.QuestionID > 1)
        {
            <input type="image" src='../../Content/themes/base/images/Wizard/btn_Previous.gif' height="25" width="80" name="backButton" value="back;@Model.QuestionID" style="margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 20px;" align="right"/>
        }
    </div>
}

My Controller:

  public ActionResult QuestionaireWizard(string nextButton, string backButton, string finishButton, FormCollection form)

In Chrome, I get the correct values in the various buttons, but in IE they are always null. Just to note that if I look at the HTML source in runtime, the inputs have the correct values in them, but from some reason the controller never retrieve them.

Internet explorer sends coordinates for image input types. These have the name followed by .x and .y. These are not valid c# variable names, unfortunately.

I'm not certain, but MVC may translate periods to underscores, so you may try changing name to name_x and name_y, and these will be the image coordinates that you clicked.
