To offer more control over the presentation, we are using the form button element and inserting images inside the button tags.

...

Now, you need to over-ride some pretty ugly default presentation styles:


form button {padding:0; margin:0; border:none; background:0;}

This works fine and dandy until you get to IE6. The buttons tend to get really large with IE. So, you need to re-define the width of the buttons and apply overflow:visible. Here’s the entry in your IE6.css file:

form button {width:1%; overflow:visible;}

Special thanks to Jehiah Czebotar for saving me a bunch of time trying to figure this out.
