How do I quiet image_submit_tag from params hash?

Question

Does anyone know how to eliminate the x and y params when you use image_submit_tag with a get method?

I have a simple search form, and using get to pass the value in the url. When I use image_submit_tag, it also appends the x and y coords, so I get urls like

http://example.com?q=somesearchterm&x=15&y=12

When I have used submit_tag, I can use the :name => nil attribute (was in one of Ryan Bates' Railscasts), but it doesn't seem to work for image_submit_tag. Granted it doesn't affect functionality, but I don't need them and would like them quieted.

That's actually part of HTML and the browser, not Rails. There is not much you can do apart from change your use of the image_submit or intercept the form submission with JS and edit the parameters. You may also be able to use a regular submit and style it using CSS to display an image, or use an image and attach JS to it to submit the form.
