[WSG] input type='image'

2007-01-07 Thread James Oppenheim

Hi all,

Does anyone know of an accessible, standards compliant way of replicating 
input type='image' with a hover?


Cheers,

What do you mean?

CSS has no means to causing some-random-element to submit a form and
include the mouse coordinates over the image, and I can't think of
anything else that an image input does. Certainly no browser, AFAIK,
does anything special when the mouse points to such an input.
