Question of the month:

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I want to replace the normal grey buttons on a form with picture buttons that perform the same operation. Thanks in advance.

Answer:

Insert the button normally. Then, select the button and click Insert > Form > Picture and select the picture you want to use. Just make sure that if it is a submit button that you set it that way while the button is still in its gray form.

Some user comments:

I do a lot of database connections and have relied upon this site for such information. I'm not a programmer but understand some code and can make it work most of the time. I do understand the limitations of Front Page, but am wondering if there is a code writing plug in type software that compliments Front Page.

Database and asp are what I seem to be interested in right now and they are most helpful.

We want you to know that we are listening and are working on new samples and tutorials for you!


Thank you from FrontPageHowTo.com !!!
