very frustrating: input type="image" problem

[willg825]

So, I've been pretty frustrated by this for a while -

I have a form that submits perfectly in Firefox. The final submission is <input type="image"> It connects to a credit card validator, and then comes back with the result, exactly the way it should.

IE, however, doesnt do it - it submits to the CC validator (i get all the confirmation emails, db submissions etc.,) but the page displayed is the *original* page of the form (this is how it should work, if for example the user clicks 'refresh' right after submitting). The form works perfectly if I make the <input type="submit" for IE - but when its input type="image", it does this double-submit thing. ITs not a double click issue - i've tried onDblClick events, as well as the onClick double-click checkers; something is happening where IE is submitting the form twice, firefox is not, and it works when input type="submit"

briefly, the submit code is:

<input name="stepthree" value="stepthree" type="image" src="/images/btn_submit.jpg" onclick="document.forms['finalForm'].submit();">

<input type="submit" name="submitit" value="yes">

thoughts anyone? (for reference, its php-based, though Im not sure if thats releveant)

thanks in advance,

The default action of input type="image" is to submit the form. You've added an onClick handler that also submits the form. The event handler also has no return value. That's probably where the problem begins...

That would do it.

I wonder why Firefox would only submit once, though.

Regardless its all set. Thanks a bunch..
