FAQ: When I press the Submit button, all I get is a New Mail Message that pops up. What am I doing wrong? A: You're not doing anything "wrong". Your particular browser/email setup is not handling mailto forms very well. You'll need to use a CGI script to handle your forms. Q: Is this going to happen to people using my form too? A: It will invariably happen to a few. Once again, using a CGI form handler eliminates these problem.

We can easily change what the buttons say.

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send it away Ray!">
    <INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear the form Norm!">
    </FORM>

If necessary, the `SUBMIT` button can also have a `NAME`. You would need this if, for whatever reason, you had more than one `SUBMIT` button.

Can we use an image for a Submit button? Sure, piece of cake.

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="submit.gif">
    </FORM>

Add `WIDTH` & `HEIGHT` so your browser can load your page quickly and efficiently. Add an `ALT` attribute so if someone is running without images they can still submit your form. And add `BORDER=0` if you want the little link colored box to go away.

    <FORM>
    <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="images/submit.gif" WIDTH=94 HEIGHT=26 BORDER=0 ALT="Submit">
    </FORM>

Note that the `INPUT TYPE="image"` is, by default, a Submit button only. You can't make a Reset image button.

FAQ: Can I make a simple button that just takes the user to another page? A: Sure...
    <FORM ACTION="../tables/index.html">
    <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Table Tutor">
    </FORM>
