How can I submit form data without using a

thirdeye has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to create a form, but, I want a button which looks just like my normal text instead of the default "graphical" button which is created when a form uses a

<INPUT TYPE ... >
[download]

tag. Is this possible?

It's possible to want that, yes. As for getting it, no.	[reply]

You can create a link that calls a form via the GET method, just like this link here is. Another option is to use an INPUT TYPE="Image" tag. You can thus make it look like anything you want, but you cannot guarantee that it will look like the text on a user's browsers.	[reply]

You can make a submit/reset button an image(don't remember the syntax offhand, shouldn't be hard to find), and engineer the image to look like the rest of your text...but that is totally dependant on browser handling of fonts and what you're using for your page text/background/etc, I guess...so it's possible to fudge it to be somewhat close, but not easy.
