Newbie Question - input button using image instead of text

[demills]

The following code works fine and displays text "Layer Control" on a button.

<input name="LayerControl" Type="Submit" Value="Layer Control" >

How do you get an BMP image to display instead of the text? I tried setting the type to Image but it doesn't allow me to set a value. I need to detect if the button was pressed. Is their another way to detect if an image button was pressed?

The image button comes down to browser preference. Some browsers like Firefox will in fact send the value of the button in addition to a set of coordinates.
Other's like IE will only send a set of coordinates of where the button was clicked.

You'll need to check for the existence of those coordinates as those are always sent.

The names are nameofsubmitbutton[red]_x[/red] or nameofsubmitbutton[red]_y[/red] so in your case you would need to check for the existence of LayerControl_x or LayerControl_Y.

Additionally you should not be using a BMP file for a website. JPG, GIF, or PNG would be more appropriate.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Thanks Vacunita thats what I was looking for. I'll give it a try.

The images are actually GIF's. I typed the wrong extension.

Thanks again
