[imp] Fwd: Replacing Submit Buttons with Images ?????

[Randy Miller]

This problem also had me stumped for a little bit.

My solution to this problem is pretty gross, but it works.  My links look like:

<a href="javascript: mysubmit(document.compose, 'Cancel Message')"><img 
src= "/horde/imp/graphics/pub_cancel_message.gif" border="0"></a>
     <a href="javascript: mysubmit(document.compose, 'Save Draft')"><img 
src="/horde/imp/graphics/pub_savedraft.gif" border="0"></a>
     <a href="javascript: mysubmit(document.compose, 'Send Message')"><img 
src="/horde/imp/graphics/pub_send_message.gif" border="0"></a>

and mysubmit is:

function mysubmit (form, action) {
         myerror='';
         if (action == 'Send Message') {
            if (submit_and_sign(form)) {
                 form.action = form.action + '&actionID=Send+Message';
            } else {
                 myerror = 'y';
            }
         }
         if (action == 'Cancel Message') {
                 if (confirmCancel()) {
                         form.action = form.action + 
'&actionID=Cancel+Message';
                 } else {
                         myerror = 'y';
                 }
         }
         if (action == 'Save Draft') {
                 form.action = form.action + '&actionID=Save+Draft';
         }
         if (action == 'Remove Attachments') {
                 attach_delete();
                 form.action = form.action + '&actionID=Remove+Attachments';
         }
         if (action == 'Attach') {
                 form.attachmentAction.value = 'add';
                 if (attachment_check(document.compose)) {
                         form.action = form.action + '&actionID=Attach';
                 } else {
                         myerror='y';
                 }
         }
         if (myerror != 'y') {
                 form.submit();
         }
}
