Any way to override submit behavior for input img?

[christopher.secord]

Normally, a button like <input type="image"> is also a submit button.
Is there any way to override that so that it has an onclick event but
does not submit the form?

For what I'm trying to do, I cannot use an <img> element with onclick.
I have to use a form element (and I'd rather have an image than a
button)

Thanks in advance for any insight.

But of course
<input type="image" onclick="return doSomething();">

In function doSomething, make sure to return false to prevent the
default action (submit the form) is not carried out

<input type="image" onclick="return doSomething();">

Or, as I nearly forgot to mention,
<input type="image" onclick="doSomething(); return false">
in order to prevent having to explicitly return false in function
doSomething.

Thanks for the tip. "return functionName()" I hadn't heard of that
one before.
