Input image not working in IE
Hi,
I'm using this code for a form:
echo "<div class=\"foorum_lainaa_yksi
But problem here is that this form works well with mozilla but with IE it does nothing.. well it kind a just loads the pages over and nothing is being displayed as it should be.. any idea why IE is not working?
Thanks,
-T

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It is hard to find a problem when I am not real sure what it is. Is it possible to provide a link to us so we can see the site online? Since the problem seems to be related to a part of the page with an image then all of the page HTML is not enough. I don't have the images. :)
You are using the Strict XHTML doctype but the html doesn't validate for that. Try switching the doctype to Transitional to see if that fixes the problem. It is important that your html is valid (or as close as possible). Errors can prevent the page from looking good, especially in different browsers.
If you need a validator try the one at http://validator.w3.org/. It can give you a good idea of what to work on. Look at and especially work on the big errors (i.e. missing, incomplete tags, invalid attributes, etc).
Let me know if you have a question or need more info. The most helpful would be to get a link or at least a detailed description or what isn't working. :)

Ok, I have the same problem when posting a message on same page.
With FF it works fine but with IE it just jumps to the forms action url and shows an empty page..
The page process_post.php adds the data to the db and returns to the same page showing the new message.. but with IE this isn't working when using image.. if I use submit it works fine??
<form action="pages/content/proc
<input style="margin-left: 41px;" type="image" value="Submit" onMouseOver="this.src='../
onMouseOut="this.src='../i
</form>
So why is this type="image" such a problem for IE?

I used a <input hidden field> with the same value and name as the type="image" and this works for IE also:)

I'm glad you got it working. I never had a chance to look at the URL or login but I'm glad I could help. Thanks for the fun question.

For the record, I'm facing the same problem.
This is the way Firefox and IE handle input type=image:
Example form:
<form>
<input type=image name=button1 value=button1val src=button1link>
<input type=image name=button2 value=button2val src=button2link>
<input type=text name=example value=something>
</form>
When the first button is clicked, and the form is submit, these values are sent to the webserver:
Firefox:
[button1] => [button1val]
[example] => [something]
Internet Explorer (tested with v7) however:
[example] => [something]
So IE isn't sending the input type=image details back to the webserver. Seems like the only workaround would be to use javascript to set a button ID to a hidden input value.
