Technically we can use an image as a button as a > submit, but are you saying you can't create the exact same look and have it > work? for NS4 not possible _lookwise_. ns4 thinks the image is a link and then puts an unremovable (if we want legal html) border around the image. functionality-wise it seems some browsers on some platform doesn't understand the enter-key when this is applied but as jonathan pointed out people will figure out how to click on the image if suddenly their enter-key doesn't work. so all in all this solution is only going to look slightly worse in ns4, because of the link-border but will function everywhere one way or the other i guess. > Again, what about using single pixel border style on the text box so that > it looks more like the single line around the prev|next widget? Or does > that break in NS4, too? you cant apply styles to input-fields in ns4 (AFAIK) but it wouldnt break anything i guess. if you imagine the text "search" as a submit button in the screenshot i sent earlier i think we can achieve that kind of search-widget in all "our" browsers, some slightly better than the other (the button will of course be on the rightside) ./allab --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
