trouble submiting form

i am submitting a form with this button, when run-over, changes the image.  here is my button code:

<a class="loginBtn" href="" name="login">Login</a>

here is my php code that takes it:

if (isset($_POST['login'])) {

when the button is clicked, it does nothing.  why won't it submit?

can you give a reason why it should do anything? I can't see one..

as for practical form submissions: wrap the form in <form> tags and place a submit button inside of it.

<form action="action.php"  method="post">
   <input type="text" name="fatgorillas" value="" />
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit this form" />
</form>

sorry; i do have the form tags around it.

well ditch the link you have and use: <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit this form" />

yea i got it now; <input type="submit" src="../Images/login.png" name="login" class="loginBtn" />

thanks.

the only problem with it now, is that it looks like its the shape of a button... besides that, it works!

You can change that with css. just expirement a bit and keep in mind elements like this have some standard background borders margins etc. You can change all that.
