    Hi, I'm trying to create a simple validation check that forces users to click a checkbox(agreeing to ToS) . The problem I am having is that I use a custom submit graphic.

    I tried simply using the onclick event handler on the custom graphic link but I can only get it to work if I use it on a form submit button.

    Any help :( sorry I am still very new to javascript.

    Thanks

    For validation always use the form's onsubmit event: 
    <form ............. onsubmit="return validator(this)">
    Code (markup):

    I see..

    but can I simply take the onSubmit = "return validator(this)">

    and stick it like this 
    <a href = "http://www.google.ca" onSubmit = "return validator(this)">
<img src = "imagefile" /></a>
    HTML:
    It works fine if I add a regular submit button, but nothing is happening when i use my custom image as the submit.

    Hi, mphilips

    You should use the image type for input tag :)

    
<input type="image" src="path_to_your_image" onclick="return validator(this);" />
