Re: Submit using image

Hey,

The method I use workds really well on all browsers, and is achieved with
CSS:

.save_btn {
background: #fff url(../img/myimage.png) top left no-repeat;
width: 70px;
height: 20px;
padding-top: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}

If your image is a 70 pixel by 20 pixel button for a single sprite, this
essentially shows the backgorund image in place, while hiding overflow, and
pushing your text outside its display area. This is also a useful image
replacement technique for headings and such too.

Give it a go, and let me know how it works out.

Cheers,
Graham Weldon.
