One more suggestion that I haven't seen yet: use a <button>

You can style this however you want with CSS, and put an image inside the tag like so:

<button type="submit"><img src="go.png"/></button>

May not be supported by older browsers, but at least your site won't break if javascript is off. Alternately, make liberal use of the <noscript> tag.

I have created some nice looking buttons that use hyperlinks with some css to create a pleasing effect. ;-)

In order to get these links to submit forms properly I have been placing WOSubmitButtons in a hidden div and having the link use a javascript to click the button. Is this a reasonable solution, or is there a better way to do this.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks everyone for the suggestions on alternative methods of handling this. It seems that there isn't really a clear consensus on the best way to go, and there doesn't appear to be a "standard" practice for this either, even though there are a lot of us who want to submit forms with links. In any case there are several options available, and mine seems to be a reasonable way to go if you don't have too many forms with multiple links for submitting.


Is there Wiki FAQ or someplace where questions like this should be posted for reference?

Kevin
