<input type="image"> --->> x & y
Hi,
On a form I've used image instead of the default submit button and I was wondering if there is a way to remove the x=XX&y=YY from the URI when submitting the form?
I.e. when I submit a form now I get http://www.domain.com.com/?country=9&x=27&y=12

I think you've misunderstood me, when you replace the submit button with image it will add teh xy automatically. I don't need them and I don't want them there.

Ya, I realized that after I posted
And my internet froze.
if you are using PHP you could use the eregi function to check the url and if it contains them then redirect to get rid of them. I think that would work, not sure. I'm using it, but not with forms, so no variables need to be passed.

Yes, I know I can do that but that's not the solution I'm looking for. I was wondering if there was a HTML tag/property that could do that. I've solved it with JavaScript for now.

What method are you using for the form?
method="post" shouldn't show any variables that are passed?

Yeah method="post" seems like the only logical way to do it right now. And any "get" variables for the page can be put in the action if you want. ie. action="?page=2"
but I bet you already know that.

Yes, I knew that too
but POST can't do what I wan't either for many reasons. I decided to go with JavaScript instead as it gives me exactly what I want which I was hoping I could have done with simple HTML, but this works too.
Thank you for your replies though.
