Button issues

[masteryamaha]

I had on my site a standard button that you click and it shows some information (i realize i could use a collapsible document for this but i choes not to for a reason i can't remember). The button was put in with the button tag <button> and had all the information needed (i dont have the original code and canot remember everything but it had the usuall info) then it had an onClick="show_box" (this was a function from an external file that doesnt matter in my case). This worked fine, but i wanted a graphical button so i switched to the <form><input type="button"...method and had the src element right and the onclick the same. it still worked except the image did not display. its a .gif and i have a lot more .gif images on there that work fine. Please Help

Your code is...?

it was something along the lines of <button name="submit".....other entries i dont remember (basic elements)...onClick="show_box()">Button Title</button> That is what worked.

now it is:
<form>
<input type="image" name="submitbutton" src="clanstats.gif" alt="clanstats"
onclick="show_box()" />
</form>

Why not just use:

<img name="submitbutton" src="clanstats.gif" alt="clanstats"
onclick="show_box()" />

What are you actually getting?
No Picture at all or the pic not found RED Cross.

If the picture isn't showing then I'd guess it's named differently than what the src is referring to.

Im getting the red cross and i double checked the id, im going to try using the image on something else on the site and see if it works.....i was alos thinking about using something like this

onclick="alert('info')

in the input button tag, but thats a last resort

Red cross means picture not found at this location,
could be duff pic name or path.
Paste the link into your browser and see if it appears.
