Form with image as button

[mattalexx]

Why is my form:

<form name="helpupd" method="post" action="admin.asp?tblname=tblNewBooks&page=1">

not working when I use an image submit button?:

<input type="submit" name="updhelp" src="images/sq_less.gif">

The form works perfectly when I use a regular submit button instead:

<input type="submit" name="updhelp">

Here's the whole form (the version with an image that's not working):

<form name="helpupd" method="post" action="admin.asp?tblname=tblNewBooks&page=1">
        <input type="hidden" name="dishelp" value="0">
        <input type="submit" name="updhelp" src="images/sq_less.gif">
</form>

Thanks guys.

try this:

<input type="image" name="updhelp" src="images/sq_less.gif" onClick="submit();">

No cigar. I think that kind of thing requires a JavaScript function or something, right?

You need to add a function. This function is known to javascript.
The code will submit the form when you clickin the image button.

This doesnt work?

<input type="image" name="updhelp" src="images/sq_less.gif" onClick="document.forms('helpupd').submit();">

oh yeah, I didnt see that. I tend to use square brackets BUT if you use document.all it only appears to work with ().
