Formatting Buttons ?

[dotJoel]

Hi All,

I am trying to change the "Go" button on a search box.

What I would like to do is change the word "GO" to an actual Gif image. I tried creating a new phrase and putting the <img src=""> in there. Didn't work, so I tried editing the button value directly getting rid of $vbphrase[go] and changing it to <img src=""> and still no luck.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

.Joel

Just edit the gobuton template if you want to replace it throughout your site.
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" />
'Change to something like ...
<img src="http://whatever.com/images/go.gif" />

Hi Mate,

Sorry our new 3.7 RC1 is on a devbox, not a public box. I'll be sure to post a link up once we're finished to a public running version.

Just edit the gobuton template if you want to replace it throughout your site.
<input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" />

Hi Rob,

I tried this, doesn't work as it still has to be a button that is part of the form, the image simply doesn't display.

<font color="darkgreen">Well you still need to write the rest of the code to submit your form as it was just an example. You were trying to change some image's text with altering a phrase which wont work.</font>
