In your form here, I see you submit it by a scipt. You can add an empty
hidden input field with the name of the event to use, or use the default
event handler to handle the event. There is also a special request parameter
"_event" IIRC, where you can explicitly name the event to use, but I'm not
entirely certain on that.
Alternatively, you can use a button tag:
<button type="submit" name="myEventName"><img src="navtop.gif"
alt="Search" width="154" height="139"/></button>
The downside of this button is that the entire image becomes clickable. But
the advantage is that you can add specify the entire button content, for
example to include both translated text and an image.
