I'm attempting to use CSS in order to make a sumbit button containing an image. Here's the code:
HTML
<input type="submit" id="search" name="submit" alt="search" >
CSS
input#search{
background:url(../search-icon.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width:40px;
height:40px;
}
This returns this submit button, but I don't want the word 'submit' or the gray square box to appear.
If anyone could suggest what the problem might be, it would be greatly appreciated.
The gray box is caused by a default border being added to the submit buttons. Whereas the submit text is the default value for the button.
HTML:
<input type="submit" id="search" name="submit" alt="search" value="">
CSS:
input#search {
background:url(../search-icon.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width:40px;
height:40px;
border: 0;
}
Add value with empty string to the input:
<input type="submit" id="search" name="submit" alt="search" value="">
You can use CSS text-indent to move the text away:
input#search {
background:url(../search-icon.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width:40px;
height:40px;
text-indent:-999px
}

Set blank Value of the input type submit as shown below :
<input type="submit" id="search" name="submit" alt="search" value="" >
try this
input#search {
background:url(../search-icon.png) no-repeat;
width:40px;
height:40px;
text-indent:50px;
overflow:hidden;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
input.search{
background-image:url(url.jpg);
text-indent:-9999px;
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
border:2px solid rgb(0,102,153);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="submit" class="search" alt="search">
</body>
</html>
I find this to be the most complete solution:
#submitbutton {
background-image: url(http://paulabrown.net/search-button-png-210.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 24px; // height of image
width: 24px; // width of image
padding: 0;
border: none; // get rid of grey border
color: transparent; // hide the text (without indenting it to hell)
background-color: transparent;
outline: none;
display: block; // Ensure block element to apply this to inline-elements
}
html: <input type ="submit" value ="" class="search-button"/>
CSS:
.search-button
{
background-image: url("/images/search.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
min-width: 52px;
min-height: 20px;
width:52px;
height: 20px;
border:0;
}
type="button"
