I'm not really -1, more like -0.5. some people will just hit enter and think that's cool some people will try to click on the word "search" and think that's lame when they see it's not a link (unlike all the other widgets on that line). The fact is that the text "search" looks like the other widgets so it's natural to want to click on it. You wouldn't take a screen capture of a real form submit button, and then use it on a page as plain text -- people would try to click it. Again, -0.5 as people will click once or twice and figure it out. Not worth thinking about too much. People will figure it out, and if not we can tweak later. Personally, I think those widgets are a rather prominent design feature of the site, and thus it might be good to use images for all to maintain tighter control on the design in all browsers. But if you feel confident that they will work fine as text, then ok. Download time and text-browsers are not a good reason against them, though, if that's the reason. >- there is no input type="image" because i _know_ (i >think:)) that this will never _look_ good in a certain >browser causing us many problems. besides there were some >problems when hitting the enter-key. Is "certain browser" NS4? 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? That is, you can't wrap both the input field and the button in a table (or whatever) to make it look like a single widget (like the other widgets)? >- there is also no js-focus(). i simply dont believe in it >for our design. i think we are wasting our time on this. I'll agree it's not worth our time. If you don't believe in it for technical reasons, I'll go along with that, too. 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?
