input type image submits regardless

[r-it]

hi there, i am having a problem using an input type image as a button. the thing is i would like it to act like a input type button as opposed to an input type submit. i have an javascript onclick event for this button, and this works as intended, but then it goes to the page which in the form's action tag afterwards, is there any way of stopping this because even if i say return false it still does it, please help.
