Using image input type with javascript? 1

[lyn]

I am using an input form type of "IMAGE" so that I can use images as<br>
buttons. I have placed the onClick specification in the code and it<br>
works just fine. The problem I am running into is that the HREF tag<br>
must be specified which then loads/re-loads the frame with the <br>
specified html file. How can I use the IMAGE without re-loading the<br>
frame each time the button is pressed? What seems to happen is that <br>
the variables, windows defined etc. become undefined when the page<br>
is reloaded.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance

I found my answer so don't bother to reply. Place an # in the HREF<br>
tag.<br>
<br>
&lt;.... HREF="#" .....&gt; keeps the current page loaded.

Thanks for coming back with the answer for that. I was having the same trouble...<br>

Not to bother you, but another possibility....more universal in it's usefulness is the JavaScriptlet: return false;<br>
This will keep forms from submitting, pages from re-loading, references from being followed, status bar messages from being displayed, etc. Really a useful little line!
