input type = image

[LloydFarrell]

Hi all, im looking for some help help,
i have this css which looks great, im happy with how the input type text boxes are displayed and the textarea looks neat too -

What I cant figure out is when I add a combo box, check box or image I cant resize them.

Im trying to add a search image to a form, but the form increases the size of the image.

any help would be appreciated please.

heres my form

<input type="image" src="img/search.png" width="169" height="48" name="button" class="ta" />

heres the complete css - If someone can show me how to define some css that will allow images remain the correct size - and help define combo box, check box

Hi thanks for your reply -

Here is the complete form I am working with -

<form action="tresults.php" method="GET">Search for a trade or service<input name="search" type="text" size="25" title="Enter text to search" /><div class="p">Search by Country, City, Trade, Description, Keywords</div><input type="image" src="img/search.png" width="169" height="48" name="button" class="ta" /></form>

Try with 'input type="button"' instead of 'image' and set background image 'search.png', and put the exceed width and height to the button that it necessary to see the background.
Hope that help.
