input type="image" ??

[Garrett]

Hello

when using the input type image like so...

<input type="image" value="url" name="url" alt="url" src="../../images/admin/url.gif">

is it only possible to use it with submit, ie can it be made to do other button functions like reset or none (for a customised button)??

thanks in advance

Sure you can. Just put an onclick event on the input type="image" like this example (it will reset your form):

onclick="javascript:document.forms[0].reset();"

but be aware: it will also do a submit if you defined an action in the form tag. So you will have to add your own submit code to another button.

thats what i was thinking, the other annoying thing is that its writes submit to the status bar even when its not going to be a submit and there seems to be no way to stop this from happening.

But if you want to use an image as a button, don't use the input type="image". Just make a <img> a put an onclick event on that image. Then you can do anything you want (submit, reset, form validation or whatever...)
