Why? <input type="submit"> works _so_ much better. See

Traditional wisdom says that the for <input type="image">, the name
attribute should be informative, because some user agents may use its
value in place of the image.
> alt="User Admin"
That's cryptic.

That's probably irrelevant to the problem at hand, but the old wisdom
says that if an element "needs" a tooltip, the page needs redesign. If
there's some essential information, it should be hidden in a tooltip
that may or may not be displayed, depending on browser configuration and
properties.

That's what happens under the new interpretation of the HTML
specification.

That's the old interpretation.

Use <input type="submit">, Luke.
