onclick does not work with Input type=image

Question posted by: Wayne (Guest) on July 20th, 2005 11:02 AM

Please help... For some odd reason onclick is not working with and
<input type="image"> but works fine on an <input type="button">....

This does not work:
<input TYPE="image" src="go.gif"
onclick="thisthis(form.text1.value,form.select1.value)">

But this works fine:
<input TYPE="button" width="20" VALUE="SEARCH"
onclick="thisthis(form.text1.value,form.select1.value)">

Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks

The odd reason is that the input of type image was intended
specifically to submit the form. If you want to do something
other than submit a form, use the onClick handler of an image,
or of a Link containing an image.
