Using image input type with javascript? 1

lyn · Oct 22, 1998

I am using an input form type of "IMAGE" so that I can use images as 
buttons. I have placed the onClick specification in the code and it 
works just fine. The problem I am running into is that the HREF tag 
must be specified which then loads/re-loads the frame with the 
specified html file. How can I use the IMAGE without re-loading the 
frame each time the button is pressed? What seems to happen is that 
the variables, windows defined etc. become undefined when the page 
is reloaded. 
 
Thanks in advance

I found my answer so don't bother to reply. Place an # in the HREF 
tag. 
 
<.... HREF="#" .....> keeps the current page loaded.

Thanks for coming back with the answer for that. I was having the same trouble...

Not to bother you, but another possibility....more universal in it's usefulness is the JavaScriptlet: return false; 
This will keep forms from submitting, pages from re-loading, references from being followed, status bar messages from being displayed, etc. Really a useful little line!
