Thanks to all who offered suggestions (here and privately) on how to
work with graphic buttons for submitting forms. I think I have just
one more question about this and I can finally move this from concept
to production stage.
What I'm trying (failing) to do below is provide the graphic button
with MouseUp/Down for those who have Javascript enabled. The second
part, the NOSCRIPT section, seems to work just fine, putting the
regular clickable button in place when the browsers have JS turned
off. But I'm just too much of a JS beginner to be able to see where
in the SCRIPT section I've gone wrong. I've got the things I want to
happen in there but my construction must be off. I tried adding a
; return true; after the href part in the SCRIPT section but that
doesn't seem to make a difference, still nothing appears.
Could one of the Javascript mavens on the list offer a suggestion on
getting this to work? Or feel free to hack it apart and tell me the
better way(s) to do this . . .
<td>
<script>
document.write('<a href="javascript:document.forms['subForm'].submit()"
onmouseout="changeImages('subPop9_07', 'slices9/subPop9_07.gif'); return true;"
onmousedown="changeImages('subPop9_07', 'slices9/subPop9_07-down.gif'); return true;"
onmouseup="changeImages('subPop9_07', 'slices9/subPop9_07.gif'); return true;">
<img name="subPop9_07" src="slices9/subPop9_07.gif"
width="151" height="39" border="0"></a>')
</script>
<noscript>
<input type=image src="slices9/subPop9_07.gif" width=120 height=37 border=0
alt="click to subscribe" title="enter your email address and click the Subscribe button">
</noscript>
</td>
I left the table cell tags in just in case that would affect
construction somehow.
Thanks in advance to any who can help!
