Imagefields to trigger Javascript

#1

Hi Guys!

I am using Javascript in Dreamweaver to create a small app that allows a use
to enter a text message into a prompt and see it scroll (using marquee
attribute).
The user can then select button to format the text (font /colour).

I basically want to replace the form buttons with my own creations and I
thought it would be as simple as inserting an image field and attaching the
Javascript ?format? function with ?onclick?.

However, when the user clicks the ?gif button? I made, instead of the
scrolling text changing colour or font the prompt pops up again for them to
retype their message.

Can anyone help?

Script:

<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">


function times(){
document.getElementById('wibble').innerHTML = ''+usermsg+'';
}

function arial(){
document.getElementById('wibble').innerHTML = ''+usermsg+'';
}

function monospace(){
document.getElementById('wibble').innerHTML = ''+usermsg+'';
}

function black(){
document.fgColor='#000000'
}
//end of function "black()"

function red(){
document.fgColor='red'
}
//end of function "red()"

function blue(){
document.fgColor='#0101B0'
}
//end of function "blue()"

function green(){
document.fgColor='#cccc99"'
}

//end of function "green()"
</script>

<input name="monospace" type="image" src="../images/gifs/submit.gif"
width="60" height="25" border="0" onclick="monospace()" value="monospace"/>

</body>

Why not use a normal image?

<a href="#" onclick="monospace(); return false;"><img
src="../images/gifs/submit.gif"
width="60" height="25" border="0"></a>

I didn't know you could do that! Works fine now! Thanks matey!

Ah, the snag.........If I wanted to insert the info attached to the function I
am triggering with the "gif" and the "onclick" behavior into a database, would
I need the imagefield method over the straight link to the image?

Can I get the info to a database some other way?
