I’m working on a project with shiny, happy submit buttons all over the place. 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.
