javascript rollover with a submit button

[Oxnard]

Here's the script section:
function change(color){
var el=event.srcEle ment
if (el.tagName=="I NPUT"&&el.type= ="button")
event.srcElemen t.style.backgro undColor=color
}

function jumpto2(url){
window.location =url
}

if the form uses a type=button when kyou rollover the button it changes

form onMouseover="ch ange('87cefa')" onMouseout="cha nge('d3d3d3')"
input type="button" value="Hosting " class="color2"
onClick="jumpto 2('hosting.html ')"

however if the input type is submit instead of button when the button is
rolled over it does not change color here is what I mean:

form action="process Login.jsp" method="post" onMouseover="ch ange('87cefa')"
onMouseout="cha nge('d3d3d3')"
input type="text" name="userName"
INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Login" class="color2"

My question is if the method is post and the input type is submit anyway to
make it rollover? if not what would a javascript look like that would use
the post method?

Thanks
Pete

The script is IE-only. Not very good for internet use.

A more compatible version would be:
---
function change(event, color) {
var elem = event.target || event.srcElemen t;
if (elem.tagName == "INPUT" && elem.type == "button") {
elem.style.back groundColor = color;
}
}

There is some markup missing here (no "<"'s and ">"'s).

Ofcourse. The script tests for (elem.type=="bu tton"), so it won't
match an input element with type="submit".

The form's method is not relevant. It is the type of the button that
fails to be "button". If you want the script to also work on submit
and reset buttons, you can use:
---
function change(event, color) {
var elem = event.target || event.srcElemen t;
if (elem.tagName == "INPUT" &&
( elem.type == "button" ||
elem.type == "submit" ||
elem.type == "reset")) {
elem.style.back groundColor = color;
}
}
