I'm modifying some of the Zen Cart code to ensure validation.
The FF Tidy plugin gives a warning on the wrap attribute, and I'm hoping
to do a find and replace to fix it.

Fast-loading,
One way around this is to use button type=submit instead of input type=submitThe button tag offers far more opportunity to style than input, and allows you to include an image inside a button tag.
The buttons look the same in all modern browsers regadless of OS.Did a little experimenting here:
I find it hard to believe but it looks like it's using an image file to draw
the button?!?!
I'v enever noticed this before. Perhaps I've never had buttons that long.
