Submit page when an image becomes focused

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi, I have a image and I want the current page to get submitted when a user tabs to the image.

I thought that I could just go;
<img src="./someimage.gif" onFocus="javascript: document.form1.submit()">

but it does not work..

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

What you have done is correct, Mark. Jus that you missed the TabIndex Attribute.

Get this:
<img src="c:/pump.gif" tabindex=2 onfocus="javascript:document.myForm.submit()">

By default an image tag wouldn't get focus. For such elements we need to add the TabIndex attribute and specify the Index.

Nice catch, Jemina.

But Markus, why do you want to submit a form when an image gets focus? What if the user was tabbing to something past that image, wanted to enter a value else where or submit a different form on the page, or he was wanting to select an anchor on the page?

I guess if there are no anchors, no inputs, and only one "trigger" picture on the page, then it makes some sense.
