Re: Netscape onclick event

Thanks Rob I tried the onchange event, but that does not get picked up by
either browser when used with the tag

<input type="image" name="guest" src="guest.gif"
onclick="formActionSet(this)">  This works in IE

<input type="image" name="guest" src="guest.gif"
onchange="formActionSet(this)"> This works in niether IE or NS
