Evening all,

Please could somebody take a look at the following form. Im calling

<?php if (isset($_POST['submit])){echo "clicked";}

but its not registering. The only difference is that this is the first time ive used the "image" type.

any help would be appreciated

<form method="POST">
            <table width="468" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
              <tr>
                <td width="21" valign="middle">&nbsp;</td>

                <td width="79" valign="middle"><input name="hours" type="text" class="consolePlaceBidForm" onfocus="clearValues(this);cancelPostback();" onBlur="javascript:startAutoPostback();" Value="Hours" /></td>
                <td valign="middle" style="padding-right:7px"><b>:</b></td>
                <td width="79" valign="middle"><input name="minutes" type="text" maxlength="2"  class="consolePlaceBidForm" onfocus="clearValues(this);cancelPostback();" onBlur="javascript:startAutoPostback();" Value="Minutes" /></td>
                <td valign="middle" style="padding-right:7px"><b>:</b></td>
                <td width="79" valign="middle"><input name="seconds" type="text" maxlength="2"  class="consolePlaceBidForm" onfocus="clearValues(this);cancelPostback();" onBlur="javascript:startAutoPostback();" Value="Seconds" /></td>
                <td valign="middle" style="padding-right:7px"><b>.</b></td>
                <td width="79" valign="middle"><input name="tenths" type="text" maxlength="1"  class="consolePlaceBidForm" onfocus="clearValues(this);cancelPostback();" onBlur="javascript:startAutoPostback();"  Value="Tenths" /></td>

                <td width="131" valign="middle"><input type="image" name="submit" src="images/console_button_place_bid.gif" alt="Place Bid" style="border-style:None;border-width:0px;" /></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
            </form>

It should work, seeing your code. Perhaps change the name of the input to "submitbutton' to avoid complications, also do not use the alt attribute. If that doesn't work, perhaps you should use the following:

<form method="post" name='BidForm'>
... The rest of the table...
<img src='images/console_button_place_bid.gif' alt='Place Bid' onmouseover='this.style.cursor="pointer"' onclick='document.BidForm.submit()' />
</form>

You missed the closing ' on your $_POST

<?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])){echo "clicked";}
