input type="image" for submit buttons by default?

[ajhauser]

So it seems like I am able to place my search bar anywhere after editing the following code:

Code: Select all

<form name="productsearch" class="productsearch" action="http://brotherscountrysupply.com/cgi-bin/sc/productsearch.cgi" method="get" >
        <input type= "image" src="http://brotherscountrysupply.com/store/media/country-pet-supply-form-button-search-2.png" class="FloatRight" border=0 name="http://brotherscountrysupply.com/store/media/country-pet-supply-form-button-search-2.png" alt="http://brotherscountrysupply.com/store/media/country-pet-supply-form-button-search-2.png">
        <div class="TopSearchContainer">
        <input name="search_field" type="text" class="TopSearchField" value="Search Brothers Country Supply" />
        </div>
        <input type= "hidden" name="storeid" class="FloatRight" value="*1e8471a159014817ab2094b6e99e04b86d">
       
</form>

My question is this - how does ShopSite know that "<input type= image" is a "submit" button?
How does this make the form submit?

Thank you very much.

It knows that it is an image because that is what you set where you configure the button. There is usually a text field and an image selection field associated with each possible button and there is a radio button which indicates which to use. The search button is what you have in the code you had in the post and that probably comes from Preferences > Search Setting > Search Layout or maybe Preferences > Store Text > Store pages. (I don't have access to a store right now so can't check.) But similar fields are on the Products > Edit Product Layout (pro stores only) for the add and view cart buttons and on Preferences > Store text > ... screens for shopping cart, billing thank you, gift certificate etc.
