Button issues

[fourone]

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone can give me a bit of help with an issue I'm having with my buttons. I am going throught my store changing the default button images for new ones I have designed which works fine on say the preview cart page as I simply change the image path:

<input type="image" name="ACTION_UPDATE" src="my_update_button.gif" alt="<Actinic:Variable Name="UpdateButton"/>" />

The problem is I would like to change the buttons throughout the checkout process, but being HTML buttons I can't figure out how to replace them with my own images instead? If I try changing the existing code for say the 'next' button:

<input type="submit" name="ACTION" value="<actinic:variable encoding="html" name="NextButton" />" />

for this:

<input type="image" src="my_next_button.gif" name="ACTION" value="<actinic:variable encoding="html" name="NextButton" />" />

the button just sends me back to the home page. Any pointers as to where I might be going wrong?

Thanks very much for the help.

Great, thanks for the help Paul. I'll give that a try.

Hmm, for some reason now when I click my next button it takes me to the product page that the item I'm purchasing was on?

I can't think what I could be doing wrong.

have you got a link?

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately my client is a bit funny about me showing their site to anyone at the moment. I've just thought I might be able to style some buttons in CSS so that I can still use the existing XHTML buttons?

Ah yes, you need to implement the changes as described on page 138 ( Using Images for the Checkout Buttons) in the Actinic V9 AUG (Advance User Guide). Nearly there
