Why is my onclick handler for the INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" button not fired?

what is "javascript: void 0"?

NN2/3/4 (and likely IE3) don't support 
  onclick
for 
  INPUT TYPE="image"
elements. As a workaround you can use a link with an image contained 
that is instead of
  <INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="whatever.gif"
         ONCLICK="if (...) 
                    return true;
                  else
                    return false;
                  "
  >
you use
  <A HREF="javascript: void 0"
     ONCLICK="if (...)
                document.formName.submit();
              return false;
             "
  ><IMG SRC="whatever.gif" BORDER="0"></A>
