Submit Button Image

[DigitalBoy]

I know this has been asked at least a hundred times before, but I haven't found the post. I want to replace my submit button with an image WITH an onClick function built in. What is the code that I need to do this? Thanks for your patience.

One quick addition. I'm developing for an interactive TV platform. Without going into much detail, I know that I MUST have the link act like an <a> tag. However, when I wrap the above code in an <a href=&quot;#&quot;></a> tag set, NS (the browser I'm testing in,) just sits there. WITHOUT USING CSS(because the browser I'm developing for doesn't support it,) is there a way to get the hand to appear?

Um ... nevermind. The browser I'm working with is very quirky. I got it all worked out.

Ok, I thought I had it working. Here's the current status.

1) A cookie is written via the following button:

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;createCookie&quot; value=&quot;Create Cookie&quot; onClick=&quot;setCookie('ratingsGroup',findChecked(),exp)&quot;>

When the form is &quot;submitted&quot; a new page is loaded where the cookie is read into memory and written to the screen. OK, not a problem. The issue arrises when I try and do the same exact thing with the following &quot;button&quot;:

<input type=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;images/button_check.gif&quot;; onClick=&quot;setCookie('ratingsGroup',findChecked(),exp)&quot;>

The cookie isn't written, but the page that is called but not updated. How do I get this image button to act exactly like its form counterpart?

I just realized that the above does NOT work with NS, which is the closest compatable browser that I have to develop for (currently developing for interactive TV.) Any suggestions on how to make this work for NS?

As far as working goes - the only difference between them (for I.E. atleast) is that the image button is not performing any submission - the submit button is.

So you need to add some call to document.formName.submit() in there to make them equivalent. It's hard to tell without knowing what your action holds - but that is only difference I can see.

Get it working with an ordinary button first - then see if it's some quirk with the type=&quot;image&quot;. Also you could forget about the form element - and just use the image as a link to call the function.
