Use an asp:image instead. Then place some javascript code in the onclick "javascript:document.getElementById('imageClicked').setAttribute('value', 'true'); document.myform.submit();"

Set a hidden field's value (using javascript) to tell the server side code that the image was clicked.

document.getElementById('imageClicked').setAttribute('value', 'true');

Then, at the end of handling the postback on the server reset the hiddenField's value:

document.getElementById('imageClicked').setAttribute('value', 'true');
