Default Form INPUT TYPE Image & NS4.x

Hello Group,

Pardon any cross posting.

We wanted to replace the standard submit buttons on a web form with
custom 'image' buttons. Here's the code I used:


<input type="image" name="nametxt" value="valtxt" alt="text"
title="txt" src="images/button.gif">

There are several different buttons on the page, each opening a
different form. On the server, this form is handled by a .dll which
determines which form to open based on the name/value pair of the
button. The nametxt and valtxt are specific strings, unique to each
button, that the .dll requires. This works just fine in Netscape 7.x, IE
5.x Opera 6.x, but in Netscape 4.x we get the message "Form Contains No
Data" when a 'button' is clicked. The INPUT type IMAGE does send some
info besides the NAME/VALUE pair (coordinate info) and maybe the .dll
won't handle that? I don't know, just a thought.

Do you have any ideas on this? Any alternative to what we are trying to
do in case this can't be done this way? At this point, we'd rather not
require users to upgrade their browsers if we can avoid it.

Any help is appreciated.

Mike
