Hi community,

on an ASP.NET-driven site we'd like to use background images for flexible-width submit inputs.

Due to the .NET limitation we cannot use the <button> tag and are stuck with the following syntax:

<input type="submit" value="Button Text" />

Did you ever style these submit inputs with background images that allowed a flexible width?

Something like this:

button {padding:2px 5px;background: #FAF9F5 url(../images/bgimg.png) repeat;line-height: 1.5;
}

then use smaller padding left/right value for IE, e.g.
button {padding: 2px 1px !important}

<button type="submit">Button Text</button>

If you want to put the button text in the image, add a span class and wrap it inside button, then use one of the image replacement techniques to push the button text off the screen viewpoint.
