When you use JavaScript to submit a form then the onSubmit event handler is not triggered. Therefore you have to invoke the function, that the onsubmit event handler would have called, yourself:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function validate() {
if ('black' != 'white')
return false
else
return true;
}
//--></script>
<form onSubmit="return validate()">
<a href="javascript:;" onClick="if (validate()) document.myform.submit(); return false"><img src="my_button.gif"></a>
</form>
