using image as an input submit doesn't work in IE

[webguync]

I think this is an IE issue. I have a submit button for a form and when I use an image as the submit button it doesn't work in IE. Works fine in FF though. When I take out the image part and just use the default submit, works fine in IE.

Here is the code with the image

 

echo '<input name="Update" type="image" value="submit" id="Update" src="images/Update.png" />

When you submit with an input type image, the post values are:

 

$_POST['Update_x'] and $_POST['Update_y'] (as Update is the name of your submit). These are the coordinates where you clicked.

you could try:

echo '<button name="Update" type="submit" id="Update"><img src="images/Update.png" /></button>';

 

 

then add this to the CSS to stop it looking like an ordinary submit button:

button {
  border: 0;
  background: none;
}

alternatively, you could use a button with no value, and add an image background to it using CSS.
