button image and button submit dont work???

[carbontwelve]

Hey im updating a design for a client and have tried to replace the continue to checkout from:

<input type="image" name="ACTION_BUYNOW" src="button_checkoutnow_button.gif" alt="<Actinic:Variable Name="CheckoutButton"/>" />

to:

<input type="submit" alt="Checkout Now" value="" name="ACTION_BUYNOW"/>

Why does the submit type not work? I am using css to style the button from an image board so I can change it using css:hover attribute, etc. but its not working, it is submitting but it is not moving to the checkout. WHY?

They both "submit" the page, however one works and the other does not, this is not the right behaviour... they should both work right?

You might have to look at the perl scripts
There's this, but for the other way round - http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=45042
It might put you on the right track

Late reply, but I've had the same problem myself and solved it by changing the name of the submit button to "ACTION_BUYNOW.x". Bit of a hack but I prefer it to editing the perl files.
