Use an image for submit button

[Thinh Doan <th...@tds.net>]

I'd like to replace the following with an image instead of a button:
      <html:submit property="submit" value="Login"
styleClass="verdanaCAPCopy"/>

Is there a way to do it?  In html, it's <a...><img...></a>

Thank you for your response.

Thanks Eric & Marcelo.  I tried <html:image...> and it seems to work fine.
I used <a href="javascript:document.forms[0].submit();"> a lot in the past
(for img rollover) but thought to try the "Struts" way.

I just learned this the other day myself.  For some reason, an <input
type="image" ...> will submit the form when clicked.  So just use the Struts
tag
<html:image page="relativePathToImageFile" ...> in your JSP.

Also noted that someone posted yesterday the following that might be an
alternative:

	Actually in HTML it's more like <input type="image" ...>, which you have 
in Struts in the form of <html:image ...>.
