How to get that button name?

Okay guys,
I've been making this program to log in to a web page, I have done so that it can write the inputed text in the username and password textboxes, using these comands:
Code:

Code:

webpage.Document.GetElementById("name").SetAttribute("value", username.Text)
webpage.Document.GetElementById("pass").SetAttribute("value", password.Text)

------------------------
The button clicking comand shuld be this:
Code:

Code:

 webpage.Document.GetElementById("button-name").InvokeMember("click")

------------------------
But I can't get the button ID the same way i got the textboxes' ID, here is a snippet of the page:
The ID's of the textboxes are there (name="") but the button's ID isn't.
HTML Code:

Code:

</div>
<form action="/user/login"  accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="user-login">
<div><div class="content_frame" style="margin-right: 100px; margin-top: 15px;">

	<div class="page_form_container">

    	<div class="form-item">

        	<label for="name" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Username:</label>

            <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" />

        </div>

        <div class="form-item">

            <label for="pass" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;">Password:</label>

            <input type="password" name="pass" id="pass" value="" />

        </div>

    	

        <input type="submit" value="Log In" style="margin-left: 150px; margin-right: 0px;" class="popup_button form-submit" />

        

	    <div class="popup_button" style="float: right; margin-right: 10px;">

	        <a href="http://signup.PAGE.com">Create Account</a>	    </div>

	    

		<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 150px; margin-top: 25px;">

        	<a href="/account/recovery/username">Forgot Username? | </a>

        	<a href="/account/recovery/password">Forgot Password?</a>

    	</div>

    <input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="user_login" />

	</div>

</div>
</div></form>

Thanks for your time,

There is no ID, there really is no button defined, it's a submit form action "submit"

But how can I, after using this:

Code:

webpage.Document.GetElementById("name").SetAttribute("value", username.Text)
webpage.Document.GetElementById("pass").SetAttribute("value", password.Text)

Make the form/web page actualy login?

Creating a web based login system takes some work. I recommend you start with finding and downloading some open-source applications that do login and take a look at the coding done by those developers to get some ideas.
