I'm pretty sure there isn't but when you use a style to edit the color of a button is there anyway to adjust the shape of the button to be similar to default? Aka not square. I don't you can this version of CSS but there might be a work around or something. (no not making pictures for it).

Edit: edits that browsers recognize since they skin the buttons.

so you want to change the button image without making an image?

ok. yeah, you can do that.

what do you want it to look like?

"not a square" isn't very specific

i mean, you can change the height, width, etc...and make it a different rectangle

you can change border widths and styles so that it's sunken/flat/raised in different ways

you can use javascript to make an image map be the submit for a form (i'm pretty sure it should be possible at least)...but i guess this isn't want you want

Okay in windows XP you know how IE views the button with rounded edges. You can't change the color of the button without taking away that rounded edge look.

I looked up CSS docs and it says you can't do it so i wanted to know if there was a work around without having to create tons of images.

Thanks.

there is no cross-platform way to do it aside from images

use images

That's what i thought. thanks.

Why would you have to create "tons" of images?

And if you're OK with "good enough", you can always set the background-image (IIRC that's the appropriate CSS attribute) of a submit button to be any image you want. The catch is that the button won't change when the person click's Submit even though the text will still move like a normal button.

I did this when I was trying to make a test form look like MacOS X's buttons across platforms. It worked on all the browser's I tested (MSIE / Firefox / Safari), but it looked weird when the text moved in on submit but the rest of the button stayed the same...so I got rid of it and gave up trying

trying to make some tacky buttons is just going to make your site uglier and more bloated than it already is

6/23/2005 3:26:49 PM

yet another quality thread haha

The explanation of this is that there are lots of buttons for various features since they didn't want text and liked the button look. I didn't want to have to create pictures for each of the different submit buttons. All of the submit buttons have seperate values for the description of where they lead. (IE: Admin, Part order etc) for one area. They can just deal with white buttons.

If it was just 1 standard submit button I'd just make a picture. No biggie.

hehe i think it's funny that you can't ever be helpful. All you can do is flame. Grow up.

give me your job damn it

Basic questions will get smartass replies.

6/24/2005 9:21:38 AM

Why not just make the background-image with no text on it, then add text using the whole value="" syntax?

I am helping, your site is tacky, stop trying to put every flashing blinking buzzer siren and streamer that CSS will allow and just focus on making the site usable for the end user.
