This is actually part of the HTML 2.0 standard, and works now in some browsers.

Try this (working) example:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://info.mcc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/post-query">
<INPUT NAME="YourName"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="http://info.mcc.ac.uk/hpctec/region.gif">
</FORM>

   You submitted the following name/value pairs:

      YourName = hello 
      x = 160 
      y = 96 

So it is not actually a submit button but it acts as one, in that the 
form is submitted when you select it.
