RE: [PEAR] Quickform: image as submit button?

I suggest checking which button was clicked before adding the rules (which in turn needs to be before validate() is called). -- Justin Patrin Thanks for your reply. But all my validations are at the client side, so the page is not even posted. Hence I can't check which button was clicked.
