that worked! i was using it as an input and causing it to submit. i didn't
quite get that it was to call the function but without submitting the form. 

thanks alex,

are you using an image as an input type?
eg. <input type="image" name="myimage" srv="myimage.gif">
this image will work exactly the same way as a submit button and perhaps is
why form data is being passed,

using <img src="myimage.gif"> with an onClick event should not send any form
data through and works exactly the same way as a href

Alternatively you could place your image inside an anchor tag eg.

<a href="mypage.htm"><img src="myimage"></a>

and this should work too pluss give you a little hand symbol when the mouse
cursor moves over the image.

Hope this helps

		Cheers,
			Alex.
