Hi Larry,

I am not 100% sure what you're trying to accomplish by posting all this code. If it's relevant to another topic, post it as a reply to that topic.

If it's a new topic, please specify the question and some background.

By making posts like this, you're just messing up the forum, IMO.

Cheers,

Imar

I'm trying to get someone help me to change my existing code from a js button to an image button. To do that, they (those that are willing to help) will need to see my existing code. There isn't much code here, maybe twenty lines, I dought its messing up the forum. That's what this forum is for, people who need help with the code that is a part of the "Beginning JavaScript" book, which I did. If you don't with to contribute by helping me with this, thats up to you, simply ignore my posts.

I am not saying you're messing up the forum by posting code, I am saying that you're messing up the forum by posting the same topic in multiple posts.

Imagine someone from a search engine finding your initial post in some time. They may think: "Hey, that's exactly the same problem I have". They'll open the message, only to find out the answer isn't there because it's in a different post. This can be very frustrating. Also, somebody willing to help you now would now need to track multiple posts to see who has answered what in what thread.

I am more than willing to help (I think if you take a look at the questions I have answered before here you can see what I mean). All I am trying to do is help make this forum as useful as it can be. Simple rules (like posting replies to the initial post, and creating new posts for new topics) help keep this forum clean, on-topic, easy to use and hopefully as problem-solving as possible.

This was my first time posting, excuse me! Nice Welcome.
I posted several times because they each had a different question although they did have similar subject lines. Each time I posted I got a answer from someone by the name of Phil and he helped solve my problem both times. I had one more guestion for him (or anyone that could/would help, but it was a different question than the previous two questions.

Right, well I have no intention to be rude. Welcome.... ;)
(If it's a different question, you may want to explain your question in some more detail. Not everyone will read all posts here and just guessing what you're trying to accomplish from just the subject line may be just a little too much). After all, people are here to help, not to waste time trying to figure out what the question is in the first place.

If all you need to do is change a HTML button into an image, this would work:

<img src="/PathToImage/MyImage.gif" onclick="return cmdStartQuiz_onclick();">

Alternatively, you can wrap the entire image in a <a> tag, and have it link to "JavaScript:cmdStartQuiz_onclick();" or have it link to "#" and add the same onclick handler as the original button or the image.

Does that help?
