Re: calling javascript function from a form image

this isnt reallt a php question but I'll answer it anyhow because Ive been stuck with netscapes incompatabilities before. do this. <input type=image border="0" name="sub" src="genre.png" onsubmit="set_category()"> if that doesnt work you'll have todo this. <script> function set_category() { alert("category set"); document.formMoviesSearch.submit(); } </script> ... <input type='hidden' name='sub' value=''> <img src="genre.png" onclick="set_category()"> or if you want the hand to show up over the image. change the <img> tag to <a href='javascript: set_category()'><img src="genre.png"></a> -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com "Neil Freeman" <neil.freeman@asa.co.uk> wrote in message news:3BAB51B3.65C8CDBD@asa.co.uk... > Hi, > > I have a form which contains an: > <input type=image > > When the user clicks this image I want a javascript function to be > called.
