Can I use an image to post information from a form?

[Dynamo]

Hi,
Can I use an image to post information from a form instead of using a submit
button.
If so how should I set the attributes of the image and do I still use
<form method ="post" action = "url to post to">

<\form> .

Regards
Dynamo

Yes you can:

<input type="image" src="(path)" name="submit" border="0">

should do the trick.

Except for the border-attribute (no such thing on input elements).
But an alt-attribute would make sense.

Yes you can:

Well, I never said otherwise, and I actually gave link where there is
best instructions about how to do it right I have ever seen. The fact
that half of the page is about why it is bad idea is exactly the reason
why I didn't give fragment identifier for that point.

<input type="image" src="(path)" name="submit" border="0">

should do the trick.

Sure it does something, but could be done better. Why not read:
