Nope. It's a <input type="image">

I know exactly what you mean though. I spent more time on that silly search
form than any other element on the page. It basically came down to a balancing
act of padding, IE box model hack, vertical-align, height and font size. I
just kept fiddling with each untill it appeared "ok" in most browsers. Using
IE6 and my goal for "perfect".

Unfortunately, I don't have any hard/fast rules for inline form elements.
Every browser seems to treat them differently.
