Button vs Image form launching.

[rockinhorse]

I am using an image to call an asp file with the "<a href" function. The file that is called does not read the text fields from the form at all. If I use a standard button object and vbscript (see below) it works.

<form name="frmLogin" method="post" action="submit">
<script language="vbscript">
Sub ProcessLogin
frmLogin.action = "/loginpost.asp"
frmLogin.submit()
End Sub
</script>

If I use an image and call the same file (see below)
it failes to read the texte fields for username and password. (See below).

Sub HyperImage(sReference,sImage,lBorder,lWidth,lHeight,sTag)
Dim sPathAndImage

sPathAndImage = Session("WebImagePath") & sImage

Response.Write("<a href='" & sReference & "'><img src='" & sPathAndImage & "' border=" & lBorder & " width=" & lWidth & " height=" & lHeight & " alt='" & sTag & "'></a>")
End Sub

This function works with all other uses except for this one.

Can anyone help?

<a href=... is just a hyperlink, it doesn't pass any form data.

If you want to use an image instead of the standard form buttons you must reference the image as a form element like this:

<input name="imageField" type="image" src="DB_images/size1/GIWOKEB18L1626.jpg" width="150" height="100" border="0">

The title of the thread says "form launching" .... are you referring to submitting a form?

I am using a loginpost.asp form to read the two fields, so actually no data gets passed by virtue of the button. I guess it is a submit function.

as per BDC2's post - or add an onclick event that calls a function that will submit your form.
