img: on click select

[Dooing]

Hi,

I want to combine an image with an on click event like:

onclick="document.myForm.myValue.focus();document.myForm.myValue.focus.select();"

With a simple img, it didn't work - when using an image button, it does
work,
but then the form also gets submitted (what I don't want to..)

Any ideas of how to achieve this?

What would be the HTML purpose of selecting an <img>?

What would be the HTML purpose of selecting an object's focus?

What is "work" here?

but then the form also gets submitted (what I don't want to..)

Then do not put it in a form, or do an onsubmit='return false;'

Any ideas of how to achieve this?

What? The select?
