Using universal buttons


In forms designed for HTML 4.0 compatible browsers, the Button icon inserts a universal clickable button that carries an editable label. This button behaves exactly like a standard Reset, Submit, or Normal button, but because the label area accepts HTML, you can customize its appearance. You can insert formatted or unformatted text, an image, or other content to make the user interface of your form more intuitive.

To insert a button:

1 Drag the Button icon from the Forms tab () of the Objects palette to your page, or double-click the icon in the Objects palette.

2 Click the Button text in the button icon, enter a description of your choice (for example, Send), or insert an image placeholder and link it with a button image.

3 Set up the button in the Form Button Inspector.
  • In the Name text box, give a unique name to the button.
  • In the Value text box, specify an action or a value to be passed to the CGI script.
