Re: help : submit with javascript problem

[Rick Reumann]

I often use the regular html buttons for various things. Users are used 
to seeing these buttons so they know they can click on them. So for 
example someone might have a button "view logs" which doesn't 
necessarily submit a form but opens up a pop up window or maybe goes to 
some other url. Sure you can make images in place of all standard html 
buttons but that that certainly isn't required or necessarily even 
always better. You asked with what seemed like a suprised question "Why 
use an button?" and I'd answer that's what html buttons are for - for 
users to click on. (Actually when you change their background color form 
the default gray, they don't even look that bad - although I do realize 
custom images used as buttons do look the best.)

Hi, RIck,
I don't understand why this would make someone "make an image look like 
a form button".  I am not sure what that means.  All my form buttons are 
images.  They look however I want them to look.  I probably don't see 
what you are saying either.  We may be coming from different directions 
and are passing in the night here.

My understanding is that you use an <input type='button'> primarily to 
do things other than submit.  I was not particularly set on <input 
type='image'>.  Why too is he not using <input type='submit'>?  I assume 
there is an answer to this, but I cannot see it in the posts.  So, I 
asked the question.

Wjau are you using button?  Why not use image?

What's the advantage of using an image in this case? Wouldn't this 
require someone to make an image to look like a form button? I'm 
probably missing something obvious here:)
