Simply use an INPUT element like this:

<input type=image 
        height=21 
        width=31 
        border=0 
        value="Go" 
        name="Go" 
        src="http://i.imdb.com/f163.gif"; 
        align=absmiddle

This will behave just like a normal form submit button, except it will
be an image.  If you want to get a bit more fancy and have the image
change when the mouse passes overhead or when clicked you will need to
use javascript.

No prizes for guessing whose webpage I stole this snippet from.
