| The Submit Button |
<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Submit Form">Each form must have exactly one field of type
submit. This creates the button the user pushes when
they're done filling out a form, and should come after all the other input fields. If a form doesn't have a
submit button, it is useless since once the user finishes typing in the data they won't have any way of
sending it to the server. You can put whatever words you like on the submit button, using the VALUE
keyword. If you omit the VALUE keyword, the button will be labeled "Submit".When the user clicks the submit button, the browser collects the values of each of the input fields (text typed by the user, etc.) and sends them to the Forms Proccessor for handling.
Using a Graphic as the Submit Button One may use a clickable graphic instead of the normal button to intiate submission of the form. The syntax for such a tag would be as in this example:
<INPUT TYPE=image ALIGN=TOP SRC="filename_of_graphic.gif">Note that all the common tags modifying the way the the image is displayed are supported (at least by Netscape), such as ALIGN and BORDER, and that two additional "fieldnames" are returned ("x" and "y"), which contain the co-ordinates of the image you clicked when submitting the form.
