The title pretty much says it all.

I got an image with which links to another page using the < a href="..."> < img ...> < /a> How can i make it make a post like if it was a button < input type="submit"...>?

input type=image will do it for you.

Untested / could be better:

<form action="page-you're-submitting-to.html" method="POST">
    <a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;"><img src="whatever.jpg" /></a>
</form>

It looks like you're trying to use an image to submit a form... in that case use <input type="image" src="...">

If you really want to use an anchor then you have to use javascript:

<a href="#" onclick="document.forms['myFormName'].submit(); return false;">...</a>

<input type="image" name="your_image_name" src="your_image_url.png" />

This will send the your_image_name.x and your_image_name.y values as it submits the form, which are the x and y coordinates of the position the user clicked the image.

Something like this page ?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="fr">

<style type="text/css">
.submit {
    border : 0;
    background : url(ok.gif) left top no-repeat;
    height : 24px;
    width : 24px;
    cursor : pointer;
    text-indent : -9999px;
}
html:first-child .submit {
    padding-left : 1000px;
}
</style>
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
.submit {
    text-indent : 0;
    color : expression(this.value = '');
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>

<body>
    <h1>Display input submit as image with CSS</h1>

    <p>Take a look at <a href="/2007/07/26/afficher-un-input-submit-comme-une-image/">the related article</a> (in french).</p>
    <form action="" method="get">
     <fieldset>
      <legend>Some form</legend>
      <p class="field">
       <label for="input">Some value</label>

       <input type="text" id="input" name="value" />
       <input type="submit" class="submit" />
      </p>
     </fieldset>
    </form>

 <html>

 <?php

 echo $_POST['c']." | ".$_POST['d']." | ".$_POST['e'];

 ?>

 <form action="test.php" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="c" value="toto98">
      <input type="hidden" name="d" value="toto97">
      <input type="hidden" name="e" value="toto aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa">

      <a href="" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();return false;">Click</a> 
 </form>

</html>
