Submit Graphics

[Anon]

I would like to change my submit buttons to graphics on forms. When the type is changed to 'Image' it is not passing the value to the output page.

I would like to change
<input type="submit" name="action"value="go">

so that I can use a graphic and still be able to keep the value of the submit.

I tried:
<input type="image" name="action" value="go" src="somegraphic">

Any Ideas?

Here's a quick work around that I use...

Try adding a hidden element and using that instead of the submit button to check that variable.

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="go">
<input type="image" src="somegraphic">

If you do it this way, then you shouldn't need to modify any scripts relying on these values.

Works for me anyway. =)

Thanks for that, I suppose that will work for a form with only one submit, but I rely mostly on forms with say a 'submit' and 'delete' button.

The problem with above is that whenever the form is submitted, $action="go" will always be passed.

I still need some way of passing a value for the submit to my scripts, which usually looks something like:

if ($action=="go") {

}elseif ($action=="delete") {

}else{

}

Does anybody have any other ideas?
