If you don't like the plain submit button, you can use an image.
You can also use the image like an image map. Getting different results
depending on where you click the image. An image element ALWAYS submits
the form.
<INPUT TYPE="image" NAME="submit" SRC="button.gif" BORDER="0" ALT="button">
The code resembles that of a ordinary image, but it is not the same. You can use the alt, border and align attributes here, but not height and width. The image is called with the SRC attribute.
Image map
Try pressing one of the button images above. You will see the output is different from other form elements. You will get two variables from the image. Both contain the name, a point, an x or y, and a value. These last values depend on where you clicked the image. With these values you could set up an image map like construction. The related cgi program or javascript would have to handle this, since you cannot use client side image maps within forms.
Reset button
Some of you might want to use an image for the reset button too. Remember an image button always submits a form. So this is only possible with a trick. You will have to create a hyperlinked image, with a javascript action in the HREF attribute. This action will then trigger the reset of the form. You need to name the form too with a NAME attribute. Try entering some text and then press the button.
<FORM NAME="theform">
<INPUT>
<A HREF="javascript:document.theform.reset()">
<IMG SRC="button.gif" ALT="Reset"></A>
</FORM>
