I tried that some years ago, but didn't find a well working solution. It might be an approach to wrap the input with some spans and style this construct all together. But I would suggest - and boy, I don't do that often - to replace the inputs with buttons by unobtrusive javascript and use a default styling for javascript turned off. But beware! If you need to support IE6 and you've got more than one submit-button, you'll run into serious problems because IE6 will send all buttons with type="submit" with the request. So you'll probably have to submit the form by javascript too. regards Martin ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
