RE: images in html buttons
Wayne, You can use standard HTML to render your button, but you lose the advantages of automatic context path maintenance. Is there a specific reason you don't want to use buttons?

With struts tag, this doesn't work and I get the raw text rendered as the button text. Is there a way around this other than going to image maps which don't work the same way as buttons do?

RE: images in html buttons
Oops I left that part out! Yes:
.addButton {
background-image:url(../images/add.gif);
background-position:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:lt grey
}
Although Matt has a point... if there is no reason to use a struts
tag, then don't. My workaround was done way back when I first
started with Struts, (mere MONTHS ago!) so it's probably not the best way,
although it does work.

Wendy,
So you use the style sheets as a way to attach the image to the button?
RE: images in html buttons
Just use an HTML button. There's nothing in struts that prevents you from hand-coding HTML. The tag just renders and - just view-source and substitute the required values accordingly. I do this all the time.

Not sure if works the same as but I have the
same problem with submit buttons. My workaround involves JavaScript:
function setUserAction(target) {document.forms[0].userAction.value=target;}
Setting the 'value' to several spaces (otherwise Netscape buttons are
squished) means you can't tell which button was clicked, so the javascript
sets that userAction property, and that's the one that the
LookupDispatchAction uses to decide what to do next.

images in html buttons
Within the body of a standard HTML tag, I can place HTML, such as the tag and this will get rendered as the button image. With struts tag, this doesn't work and I get the raw text rendered as the button text. Is there a way around this other than going to image maps which don't work the same way as buttons do?
