That is how <input type="image"> works. If you don't want it, don't use <input type="image">. :)
You can use CSS to set a background image on a "normal" submit button:
<input type="submit" style="background-image:ur

Ok, fine. I'll implement what you suggested.

Good question! :) I don't know, I have never seen it being used for anything. To actually use the coordinates requires the use of a mouse or other pointing device, so it is not very user friendly.

It has been a part of the spec since the beginning of the web, I guess the inventors thought it was a nifty feature, but it is, as mentioned, rarely used.
When using input type image, we normally just check if either coordinate exists (name.x or name.y), and ignore the coordinate value.

Right, I used value="" but I'm getting that beveled border. The one that looks pressed when you click it... any idea how to remove that so it appears much like using an image?

You didn't have to post a new question, but thanks for the points in the other one.
I prefer an alternate approach.

Long ago, it was used for server-side image maps. These days, the only good image map is a CSS image map.
