newbuttontag
-->There have been a few questions on the forum of late about using images in place of buttons. Yes, it can be done, but why not fancy up your buttons instead??
Up until now, you had three options for building Form Buttons. You could use text or an image, or you could get fancy with CSS. But here is a new Tag that makes coding online forms both more fun and functional.

<a href=”http://ww3.aitsafe.com/cf/review.cfm?userid=5275435″ target=”new”>USUAL WAY: <input type=”button” value=”Buy Now” /></a>
The new button command makes creating buttons easy. The following code does exactly what the previous code does:
<BUTTON>Buy Now</BUTTON>
This code makes a button with bigger text in Arial font, if it’s on your computer:
<BUTTON><FONT FACE=”Arial”><BIG>Buy<font face=”Verdana,Arial,Helvetica” size=”2″> </font><font face=”Verdana,Arial,Helvetica”>Now</font></BIG></FONT></BUTTON></font><font face=”Verdana,Arial,Helvetica” size=”2″></font>
uy Now
<font color=”#666666″ face=”Verdana,Arial,Helvetica” size=”1″><BUTTON><FONT FACE=”Arial” SIZE=”5″><B>BUY<font face=”Verdana,Arial,Helvetica” size=”2″>
Bolder </font></font><font color=”#000000″ face=”Verdana,Arial,Helvetica” size=”2″>ONE NOW</B></FONT></BUTTON>
Yes, you can also use the center align tag to center the text in the button. You can also use a few spaces to do the same.
BUY
ONE NOW
Now we have coloured text:
<BUTTON><FONT COLOR=”#ff0000″><B>Look, colors!<BR>And line breaks!</B></FONT></BUTTON></font>
How about an image? Yes, an image inside a button!
<BUTTON><IMG SRC=”image.gif”></BUTTON>
Now we have a table, and image and some Arial text. Make the table border red as well:
<BUTTON>
<TABLE BORDER=”1″ bordercolor=”#FFOOOO”>
<TR>
<TD align=”center”><IMG SRC=”image.gif”></TD>
</TR><TR>
<TD>Buy Now!</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BUTTON>
![]() |
| Buy Now! |
NOTE: You cannot include the following elements inside a
- Another <BUTTON> tag
- <SELECT> tag
- <INPUT> tag
- <A> tag
Other than that, play around and have fun.
