Not a great option for anyone with JS off, though … It’s easy enough to style an anchor to look the same, although default forms elements don’t look the same cross browser, so you’d want to style links and form buttons the same way, I guess.
There is no sin in wanting people to click on a Button to go to somewhere else on your site than a link…
And Paul O’ showed me how to do that using a background image slice to create the illusion of a Button, however, I would like it to have the default silver/gray/metallic look, so that is what I’m asking.
Also, Ralph, what I am trying to do is logical, because I want a “Send PM” Button on my “inbox.php” page to take them to my “create_pm.php” script which is a Form…
That is the whole point…
It is more intuitive to click on a metallic looking “Send PM” Button in a User’s Inbox, and then be taken to a Form to do just that, versus clicking on a hyperlink.
As mentioned before, I think having a metallic Button for “Create PM” is more consistent with my “Go” Button to the left, versus having a Create PM hyperlink…
Because, the entire area is encapsulated in an HTML Form, I could leave things as a Form Button and use a Redirect to take the User to my “create_pm.php” script, but I was hoping to make things function like a hyperlink while look like a Form Button… :-/
