None of the images for the 'submit' and 'reset' buttons were downloaded to my machine. I am using Netscape 4.51. At first, I wondered what was the point of including the CGI script with this article. It isn't really that pertinent, except that it does provide someone with the insight needed to process the form submission. Incidentally, I don't think the forms action was directed to the script he gave. I kept getting an IRT type response.

However, I did not understand why you did not address forms with multiple boxes, eg loginID and password and I hit enter at the password and it sumbits the password without going thru the tab selection.

There's four errors in the last two image button examples.
Everywhere it says document.form.whatever...
it should instead say document.formName.whatever...

(There are four seperate places where it's wrong, in the green
example boxes...)

Otherwise very useful...

I want more information on whether the onclick event on the type=image works in netscape or not. I found it doesn't. then how to get around this problem. It works fine in IE though. anyway thanks for the information. but I would be really delighted if you can provide me a solution for this in netscape.

But...I am a little mystified, as the examples until the OnSubmit and OnReset handling part of the article also submit x and y coordinates for where the image was clicked. Why is that? Can these two values be omitted?

It is very important to me that I can leave these two out, as my server-side stuff won't work otherwise.

this article was EXACTLY on point; it brought up the whole form buttons issue, from the simplest to most complicated. I loved the comprehensive approach; no "one size fits all" recipe book, forcing people to use solutions more (or less) complicated than they really needed. I found my exact situation addressed, and was able to implement the exact level of complexity needed to make my image "reset" button work, without needing an overly complex solution, as i had no "on reset" actions to implement. You're the best!

It's just what I was looking for but I had a problem whem implementing this code. In spite of resetting the form, the image is refreshing it. I put the code in the onClick event because an error occurs when using only in the href.
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.form1.reset()">

Can you help me?

I have been searching the web for quite some time looking for some examples on using images in place of submit and reset buttons in a foprm. Finally found your web page with information that made it all very simple. I have set up a bookmark for your site for future reference. Great information.

Thanks,

Joe

Is there a way to use images instead of the normal "checkbox" and "button" types to get input on a form? For example; you have a food menu and you want a person to be able to pick a meal and a drink by clicking images rather than clicking checkboxes and keep a running total of the cost of their selections.

Thanks!
