FP98: Image Toolbar Not Activated If Image in Form Field

ID: Q192430

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

If you select an image that you inserted as a form field rather than as an image, the Image toolbar does not activate.

CAUSE

The Image toolbar is not activated when you insert an image as an <INPUT> element (form field) rather than an <IMG> element (image).

RESOLUTION

If you want to use the image in a form field, you can work around this behavior by following these steps:

1. Insert the image in the form by clicking Image on the Insert menu.

2. Make the changes you want to the image using the Image toolbar.

3. Click the HTML tab at the bottom of the FrontPage Editor window.

4. Replace the <IMG> tag with the <INPUT> tag and add the TYPE="image" attribute to the tag. For example, change this code

      <IMG src="example.gif" width="100" height="97" alt="example.gif">

   to this:

      <INPUT src="example.gif" width="100" height="97" alt="example.gif"
       type="image">
