input type=image 2

sfenx · Jul 10, 2002

I have written some simple code in ASP (see below) with 2 submit buttons. Is there a way to replace the submit buttons by an image? I already used type="image", but I read that the value option of this type doens't work. I know there must be a 'onclick='-command to define the 'lang'-variable. Or are there other ways to do it? Who can help me on this?

Code:

<BODY>
	<% lang = request.form(&quot;language&quot;) %>
	<% if lang = &quot;2&quot; then %>
		ENGLISH
	<% else %>
		DUTCH
	<% end if %>

	<FORM action=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://mysite.asp&quot;[/URL] method=&quot;post&quot;>
	<INPUT name=&quot;language&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; src=&quot;/jpg/NLbutton.jpg&quot; value=&quot;1&quot;>
	<INPUT name=&quot;language&quot; type=&quot;submit&quot; src=&quot;/jpg/ENbutton.jpg&quot; value=&quot;2&quot;>
	</form>
</body>[\code]

<input type="submit" style="background-Image:url(/jpg/ENbutton.jpg)" value="1">

Code:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;IMAGE&quot; NAME=&quot;language&quot; VALUE=&quot;SUBMIT&quot; SRC=&quot;/jpg/ENbutton.jpg&quot; BORDER=0>

give the buttons different names to determine which was selected Tony

Thnx for reacting so soon guys.
Sjravee: your option works fine, but the disadvantage is that I can't hide the value on the button.
Tony: I agree on giving different names to the buttons, but then I have to write a whole lot more code i.e. if I have 5 languages to chose from
Erik: thnx for the links. There are some pretty good scripts there.
Still it surprises me that one can't give a specific value to an <input type=image>. Anybody knows the reason for this? When (and how) do you use the x and y value coördinates anyway?

the reason you cant assign it a value is because its not meant to be a value container, its job is to submit a form. Why not use a hidden field to assign the value to so when a user presses the submit button
<FORM name="Form1" action="

http://mysite.asp"

method="post">
....
<input type=hidden name="Lang">
<input type=image src="/jpg/NLButton.jpg" onclick="document.Form1.Lang.value='1'">
<input type=image src="/jpg/ENButton2.jpg" onclick="document.Form1.Lang.value='2'">

then in your asp read the value of Lang,

lang = request.form("Lang&quot
