Creating a graphical Submit button

You can make a more appealing Submit button by using the Insert Image Field command to insert an image in a form.

You can also use graphical buttons to perform other form operations such as resetting a form, or playing a sound. Using an image to perform tasks other than submitting data requires attaching a behavior to the form object. You can use Dreamweaver's Behaviors panel to attach a behavior or you can affect the form using JavaScript code. To see how to attach a behavior to an object, see Attaching a behavior.

To create a graphical Submit button:

1	In the document, place the insertion point inside the form outline, then do one of the following:
	Choose Insert > Form Object > Image Field.
	In the Objects panel's Forms category, click the Insert Image Field icon.
2	In the Property inspector for the image field, change the text in the ImageField field to Submit.
3	In the SRC field, click the folder icon, then browse to the image you want to insert in the page.
4	In the Alt field, type text you want to appear in place of the image for text-only browsers or for browsers set to download images manually.
