Description

I have the following <s:submit> code:

<s:submit action="shipment_deleteShipperFromChosenShipperViewList" type="image" src="/llr/theme/delete.gif" onclick="clearDirtyFlag();deleteShipperFromChosenShipperViewList('%

{organizationInfo.orgId}

');" tabindex="16"/>

which generates the following HTML:

<input type="image" alt="Submit" src="/llr/theme/delete.gif" id="shipment_shipment_deleteShipperFromChosenShipperViewList" name="action:shipment_deleteShipperFromChosenShipperViewList" value="Submit" tabindex="16" onclick="clearDirtyFlag();deleteShipperFromChosenShipperViewList('1');"/>

The W3C Markup Validator marks the HTML as an error. The error message is

> Attribute value not allowed on element input at this point.

Evidently value is not an allowed attribute when the type is image. I asked how do I keep Struts2 from generating the value attribute on Stack Overflow and they recommended I create a Jira. I hope I have done it correctly. Thanks!
