I've just done some testing and the "Image" type input doesn't seem to pass
its anem across as a variable at all when the form is submitted in the way a
submit button does. This is contrary to the w3c html specs. I've tested this
in nutscrape and micros**t ie5.
this is the code that doesn't work:
<?php
if (isset($fred2)) echo "fred2 set"; // only shows if submit button clicked
?>
<form action="#" method="post">
<input type=image name=fred2 src = "done.bmp" value="done0bmp">
<input type=image name=fred2 src = "tetra.bmp" value="minebmp">
<input type=submit name=fred2 value="submit">
</form>
