An HTML form.
Submitting a Form with an Image Button.
The image input type gives you
another way to submit a form. You can replace the standard Submit button with a graph-
ical image. The
src
attribute must be included to specify the location (URL) of the image.
As with other image tags, the
alt
attribute (HTML 4.0) should be used to give replacement
text for browsers that cannot load the image. Many browsers rely on either the
name
or
value
attribute as alternate text, so if there is any doubt, all three attributes for the same
purpose should be used.
