Using a image as a submit button

[mkamer]

Hello,

Is there another way then this:

<A href="javascript:document.myForm._eventId_proceed.name='_eventId_proceed';document.myForm.submit();">
  <img src="<%=response.encodeURL(request.getContextPath()+ "/static/img/btn_next.gif")%>" class="right" alt="Next" />
</A>
<input type="hidden" name="_eventId_proceed" value="transition">

to use a image as a submit button?

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code.

To answer your question, use a button or input element with type image.

Hi Marten,

Thanks for answering.

The use of html button i know. The problem is that if I use an image with href surrounded then the form will not be submitted and the value will not bind to my model object.

The code that I mentioned contains a peace of javascript as a workarround. I was wondering if there is another (easier) way to accomplish a form submission in combination with webflow and an image as a button.

It really looks trivial but I can't find a nice solution.

Regards,

Marc

As I stated use a button. The button will submit a form and you can put a img tag inside there... No need for the href...

Okay Marten...Thanks...

I'll try that! I'm not able to test it at the moment. As soon as my server is up and running again i'll test it.
