Using image input type with javascript?

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.

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!
