<input type="image"value="Delete" title="Delete" name="cmd_delete" src="bin/images/common/delete.png"/>
The above HTML code is for a Delete button in my application. The problem is that this button does not work in Firefox 4 but works in other browsers. Please how can I fix this.
You could use <button name="cmd_delete" value=""><img src=".."/></button>
instead of input.
You're basically abusing the <input type="image">
to have a button with a background image. The <input type="image">
represents an image map. The mouse position on the button is been sent as cmd_delete.x
and cmd_delete.y
parameters. But you are not interested in the mouse position. Replace it by a normal <input type="submit">
and use CSS to specify a background image. E.g.
<input type="submit" name="cmd_delete" class="delete" value="" />
with
input.delete {
background-image: url('bin/images/common/delete.png');
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border: 0;
cursor: pointer;
}
and check it as follows
if (isset($_GET['cmd_delete'])) {
// Delete button pressed.
}
Try:
<input type="button" class=”button” value="Delete" title="Delete" name="cmd_delete" />
.button{
background: url('bin/images/common/delete.png') no-repeat top;
}
Following works in IE, FF (and IE6, BalusC!):
<input type="submit" value="" style="background-image: url('bin/images/common/delete.png');width:262px;height:37px;border:0;cursor: pointer;" />
Suppose:
<input type="image" name="submit" src="signout.png" />
If you are using php, change your code from
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
to
if(isset($_POST['submit_x']))`
Just check for $_REQUEST['submit_x'] if its set or not empty.
Older browsers don't set $_REQUEST['submit'] when using input type image.
Don't really know why...
Then there's no need to apply CSS to the tag.
The problem with using <button name="cmd_delete" value=""><img src=".."/></button>
is that you still see the button behind the image. It looks horrible. Why is this negative voted...it is true, I tried it!
