Wendy,
So you use the style sheets as a way to attach the image to the button?

Not sure if <html:button> works the same as <html:submit> but I have the
same problem with submit buttons. My workaround involves JavaScript:
<script>
function setUserAction(target) {document.forms[0].userAction.value=target;}
</script>
<html-el:hidden property="userAction" value="error"/>
<html-el:submit property="submit" onclick="setUserAction('Add Prospect');"
styleClass="addButton" titleKey="button.add.prospect" value=" "/>
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.
