Using CSS Buttons - still seeing "Update cart" gif

[marisa1]

It's probably because the alt text is very long for that button (and the Zen css buttons automaticly are disabled for long alt texts).

Where can the alt text for the update cart be found? Have searched everywhere but cannot find it.

Answer was in front of me!!! Change the icon language file.

I have exactly the same problem. I'm using CSS buttons but in the shopping cart, the gif button for 'Update Cart' insists on being displayed, so I found the alt text (in icon_names.php) and abbreviated it. Now I don't get the gif, but I don't get a CSS button either - I just get the alt text being displayed. I think only way out I can come up with will be to make a gif button that looks like the other CSS buttons, but I'd prefer to fix this the proper way. Any other ideas anyone ?.

It may depend on the browser you are using. Some browsers will show the alt text and some show the css button. It has something to do with the type of button it is - a form submit button.

Does the alt text appear as the default grey button type?

I was able, as suggested above, to change my Update button to CSS just by shortening the alt text. However, as others have noted, I still have a gif image for the delete button.

I can easily make a gif that looks like my CSS button style, but I use a CSS rollover effect and I'd like to duplicate that too.

I can probably recall (it's been a while) how to do that using javascript, but it's also possible, I believe, using CSS and applying a different image using a hover and that sort of thing. I found a couple of examples on the web on how to do this, but I couldn't make them work in m,y site.

Has anyone managed to get their own CSS rollover effects working for the Delete button?

TIA
