I do not think my question was clear.
I'd like to replace a default submit button image to a different image
(such as .gif) withiin the form.
how should I do that?
I tired to use type="image" to point to the image file, but if I use
this image type. my form vale/variable won't pass to the action page.

So I must use the type="submit", then I cannot change this button
image to a .gif.

It was clear enough, just in a wrong group. There's nothing DHTML'ish
in the question. It's plain HTML. Besides, it was a question different
from what you are now asking.

Just don't. Submit buttons work better.

page.

It will affect the data that will be sent by the browser, as defined in
the HTML specification.

<input type="image" name="submit"> will do it....

but I find that this does the same as a submit button, but there's no equivalent
for reset.

Otherwise you can use CSS to put a background image on an ordinary button (?).

you can use <button><!-- any HTML code --> </button> to do this.
inside the button tag you can use
onClick="document.form_name.submit()" to send the form. should work
with NS6+ and IE4+

[input type="image" value="submitname" src="send%20mail.jpg" width="64
height="14" border="0" alt="SUBMIT!" name="image"
