Is there a way to use my css code on the submit button?<input type="submit" value=" Do It ! " />Css code is as follows

Ok, first thing is that your code for your link is invalid. You cannot have span "inside" your a tag. You can nest it inside the link.Invalid:

<a href="jobadmin.php?JobID=$JobID&op=5&move=2" class="button" span class="icon">

Valid:

<a href="jobadmin.php?JobID=$JobID&op=5&move=2" class="button"><span class="icon">text</span></a>

Or just add the styles to the button class. (That's what I would do.)Second, add an id or class attribute to your submit button and style accordingly. I assume you know the submit button links to the action in the form.Whoops. Just noticed your using a background image. In that case use an image as your submit button.

<input type="image" name="search" src="search.gif" border="0">

If I remember right.... It's been awhile since I used an image as a submit button.Good Luck,Scott
