Re: [Bobs-devel] configuration issues

[Rene R. <re...@gr...>]

This is what I've found on the "input type=3Dimage" issue.
W3C standards specify that only x and y coordinates of the image clicked
are sent when submitting. This holds true with Opera. But Mozilla also
sends the name=3Dvalue value. I guess this is true for IE as well.
I suppose Mozilla has implemented an IE feature and Opera has not.

In any case I do not find this acceptable.

There are a few options.
Either we use regular links, or we use the name.x=3Dcoordinate values to
determine if a button is pressed.

Personally I find the link method easier and less error prone (with
regards to how browser handle it)

Your call.
