Is there any real difference to screen reader users (or any users really) whether i use "image" rather than "submit" as the type attribute for my form submission button?

eg:

<input type="submit" value="Submit!" />

vs

<input type="image" src="myButtonImage.jpg" value="Submit!" alt="Submit!" />

  • In my frustrated experience, there appears to be a difference in what is returned to the server in a POST request: See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7935456/input-type-image-submit-form-value Ben – user2909532 Oct 23 '13 at 02:36

Nope, they're essentially the same.

See: Using 'button' and images for submit. Just make sure to always give the image submit alt text.
