Hi.

I've used this method in IE6 without problems.
Could you show us your form and the code you use to read the data?

hi,

herewith i am sending my code..........
################################################## ##########
[html]<html>
<head>
<title>button</title>
</head>
<body>

<form name='f1' action='button.php' method='post'>
Firstname<input type='text' name='t1'>
Lastname <input type='text' name='t2'>


<input type='image' name='sub' src='forward.gif' value='Fw'>

</form>

<?php

$fname = $_POST['t1'];
$lname = $_POST['t2'];
$but = $_POST['sub'];

if(isset($but) or ($but == "sub") ) {

echo $fname;
echo $lname;
echo $but;
}

?>
</body>
</html>[/html]
################################################## ###########

The above code is working fine in Mozilla firefox whereas in IE it's working only when the submit button type='submit' but not in type='image'

Ok.. I see.

I've done a little testing and it appears that when an image is used to submit a form you get _x and _y values for the image, and a value for the image itself if the value is set. If it is not, no value for the image itself is sent.

IE6 does not include the value for the image, even if it is specified so you PHP code was ignoring the entire thing when it didn't receive a value for the image.

I tried this code on the data sent by your form:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
echo "<pre>";

print_r($_POST);

echo "</pre>";

And in IE6 I got these results:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Array

(

    [t1] => asdf

    [t2] => asdf

    [sub_x] => 17

    [sub_y] => 72

)

In Firefox I got these results:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Array

(

    [t1] => asdf

    [t2] => asdf

    [sub_x] => 85

    [sub_y] => 52

    [sub] => Fw

)

Note that the sub_x and sub_y values changed every time I submitted, even tho the code remained the same, in both browsers. Have no idea why.

So all you need to do is modify your code to check the sub_x or sub_y values instead of the sub element and it should work fine.

Hello,

Thank you very much, your idea is helped me a lot and also i learnt new thing that if we gave submit button type=image we have to check for the x and y coordinates,

thanks
