I need help on a challenging and interesting puzzle. User interface for a web app in PocketIE on the PocketPC has trouble with form submit. The only form control that allows a submit is the Submit button. Our visual design requires a gif image for form submit. Also there are supposed to be two or more buttons for different types of submit. For example, you can select some items on a checkbox list, then click Edit, to make more choices about those items, or click Process to accept those choices without further modification.
I hope somebody on the list has PocketPC experience. If not, my understanding is that PocketIE (pIE) implements Javascript 1.1 and DOM 3.2. Think back to about 1996. What would you do to make a group of gif's into form submit buttons? Could you update hidden form fields to include in the submission?
We have tried:
1) form button: cannot decorate with bitmap. Otherwise is functional.
2) input type=image. Can submit, but for form with multiple buttons this doesn't let us determine which button the user chose.
3) "a href" link: looks good, but javascript "onclick" function fails to execute a submit. Will go to the target location but form data is null.
The good thing is this is an intranet application. We do not have to worry about other browser versions and environments. Any observations are welcome.
