I have a form that contains this single input field, which is nothing more than a button to Print the current web page:

<div align="center">
<input type="image" src="../Images/print.jpg" value="Print" onclick="printpage();" /></div>
</div>

After the printing, the page re-submits itself (to itself). Why does it do this and can I stop it?

If I just change the type to "input", this code does not re-submit itself after printing:

<div align="center">
<input type="input" src="../Images/print.jpg" value="Print" onclick="printpage();" /></div>
</div>

Unfortunately, our style conventions require me to use that button image rather than the standard input button.
