Add multiple "types" to a submit button in RoR

I have a submit button on a form that is an image, and I want it to clear the form once it is clicked.

To make the submit button an image, I use the following code:

<%= f.submit "2", :type => :image, :src => "/assets/down.png" %>

To make the button clear the form, I use the following code

<%= f.submit "2", :type => :reset %>

But I have tried and failed to add two "types" to the form

Any Ideas?

This isn't possible.

By default, the form_for submit must and will be an HTML tag <input type="submit" />. Without the type attribute being set to "submit", the tag wouldn't actually be a submit button and would certainly not be able to submit the form without some sort of client-side intercession (e.g., Javascript).

CORRECTION:

The OP is correct that "image" is indeed a valid type attribute for an image button.

You should use javascript here (to submit your form after pressing on your image (or as you want -- reset it).

$('#form').trigger("reset");
