I'm trying to use an image as a go button for a jumplist, and unfortunately
it only works with IE.  Needless to say this isn't a good thing.

The Code:

<form name="jumpform">
  <select name="jumplist">
    <option value="salesdescriptions.asp#promo_cd" selected>Promotional
CD-ROMs</option>
    <option value="salesdescriptions.asp#education_demo">Education
Demonstration Tools</option>
  </select>

<!-- This works in IE with the image. -->
  <img valign="top"
	src="/images/go.gif"
	
onClick="top.location=document.jumpform.jumplist.options[document.jumpform.j
umplist.selectedIndex].value"  	align="absmiddle">


<1-- This one works with IE and Netscape, but no image as the button -->
  <input type="button"  border="0" name="Button" value="Go"
onClick="top.location=document.jumpform.jumplist.options[document.jumpform.j
umplist.selectedIndex].value">
</form>

I guess I've got two questions.  1) How can I get it to work ;-) and 2) Why
can't I just use the onClick from the form button in the image tag?
Apparently that'd be too easy...

As you may have noticed, I have minimal experience with JS.

Thanks,
Shaun
