Re: Using an image as a reset button

I tried to do what you want your way, but it seems that when input tag type
attribute sets to "image" it behaves as a sumbit button. The logical
behaviour of an image button should be to act as a simple button, not as a
submit button. I really don't know the reasons why. I attached a sample .htm
page that shows a different way to do the same. I used images with the id
property set and then I control the onclick events for both the images,
submit and reset. It  works fine, maybe it's not the best way, but is a way.
