[FX.php List] Problems w/ Internet Explorer 7 (submit via image)

[Timothy Tait]

this is probably a non-issue, since it's been so long, but be aware that you
can also remove the button tag completely by code like this:

<a href="javascript:validateForm()"><img src="./images/your.jpg"
border=0></a>

then in your validation code, if everything is okay, just add this line (or
something like it)

document.formName.submit();

that will work around any problem with the <button> tag.

i don't know that it will work on the mac, since i'm pc, but it should be
cross-browser...

cheers,
