Description
given that some browsers submit name.x and name.y instead of name , merely copying without understanding at all the image button theme and elements code does not work. there are articles out there on how to do this correctly.
Also, the module is a very bad idea altogether. Upgrade to Drupal 6 if you need D6.
#1
I will work on fixing issues related to the inconsistency in the way browsers submit image name variables. I'd appreciate any help you can provide in identifying specific tests and bugs.
I disagree about the module being a bad idea. Not everyone can upgrade to D6 yet. What if you're working on a site that needs Ubercart, or MediaMover, or any of the other large, complex modules out there that have not yet been upgraded to D6? Does that mean you shouldn't be able to still take advantage of some of the cool innovations available in D6, like image buttons or the drupal_alter mechanism?
#2
The module is useful in all cases the upgrade to Drupal 6 is not possible, for some reasons. If somebody doesn't see any uses of the module, then he can simply avoid to use it.
I personally use Drupal 6, but I can understand there are cases where a person doesn't upgrade to Drupal 5 because a module he is using is not ported to Drupal 6 (or that module is still in development, and it doesn't work well on Drupal 6 as it works on Drupal 5).
