[RESOLVED] HTML - Problem with Form submit

[Master_Zen]

I'm using this form field:

<form name="form" method="get" action="search.php">
  Search:<br />
  <input type="text" name="search" size="20" class="searchbox">
  <input type="image" name="submit" src="images/icon_search.gif" class="searchbox">
</form>

However, I get the submit values in the URL too.

Ex:

search.php?search=testing&submit.x=0&submit.y=0

I only want "search=testing" to appear. How can I do this? Thanks.

Include the image in <img> tags rather then <input>, and use a small bit of javascript to submit the form (form must have an id). Since you are using the get method, all form elements show up in the query string. If you absolutely need the submit button to not show up in the query string, you have to use javascript or the post method.

<form id="form_1" action="" method="get">
   <input name="test" type="text" />
   <img src="img.jpg" width="25" height="25" onclick="document.getElementById('form_1').submit()" />
</form>

Or use an ordinary submit button and a stylesheet to specify its size and background image and border and stuff like that.

Actually that's exactly what I did and it worked. Thanks both 🙂

Duh! Don't know how I overlooked that one.
