need help with input type image

emrldwpn

i recently changed all my <input type="submit"> to <input type="image"> to use pictures instead of those ugly buttons

when i run the site in mozilla everything runs fun, but when i run it using IE it just refreshes the page and does nothing

here's the code i used on one of the pages: <input type=image src="../../images/send.gif" name="submit" value="Send">

when i tried printing out $send in mozilla, it was = to Send, but in IE it was blank... what do i need to do differently to get it to work in internet explorer?

thanks

sorry, that was after i had made a change

the actual code is <input type="image" src="../../images/send.gif" name="send" value="Send">

emrldwpn

ttt
no one has any thoughts? =\

have you tried this

echo $_POST['send'];

drawmack

ID submits the x and y coridinates instead of just the value of the button on an image button. You've got to check for $var.y and $var.x I believe.

stolzyboy

doh, here i was thinking of a link to submit, not an image, yes drawmack is correct, check for $send.x and $send.y, if they fall in your params, then if the if is successful do what you need to do

ya know sometimes when you think, it just doesn't work

i added in ID="send" to the button, and at the top added:

print "$send.x = send.x<br>$send.y = send.y";

when i clicked on the button all i got was

.x = send.x
.y = send.y

what you can also do is this:

have a hidden input tag with

and your image tag with an onclick submit form function

then you can check with

$send or $_POST['send']

again and see what they echo
