Changing default search button Can't Post
Hi,

I have one more question that I just can't figure out. I want to change the default search button and replace it with one of my own. I don't see where the form calls any image for that button. Where would I even begin. Some advice is much appreciated. Is it even possible? Thanks.

I don't know what your search form looks like but I'm going to guess you have a submit button like this:

<input type="submit" name="perform_search" value="Search">

If you want to use an image as a submit button you can use some code something like this:

<input type="image" name="perform_search" src="/images/submit.gif" height="30" width="100" border="0" alt="Submit Form">

That's going off of memory... Let me know if that does the trick for you.

Hi and thanks for the response. I actually found some info on this after digging through the forums here. It was a tut posted for creating a text link in place of the button, but had the code for calling an image as well. It worked perfectly for me, and the code is very similar to what you have here. So this would probably work as well. The link for that tut, for other people interested is: http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/textsubmit.shtml
