This is easier obtained with something like:

<input id="search_submit" type="image"
src="somewhere/search.gif" name="op"

At least in D5. op was deprecated. I don't know if it is still alive
in D6.

I'm not a JS guru. Drupal uses ahah and JQuery libraries for JS.
There are some books about JQuery, I don't know about ahah.
Then there should be some docs on Drupal integration on drupal web
