Using CSS Buttons - still seeing "Update cart" gif

Upgraded from 1.2.4.1 to 1.3.6

Is there something in $buttonUpdate in header_php.php that's causing this? Or is it in tpl_shopping_cart_default.php?

Doesn't matter what I choose in Config | Stock | Show Shopping Cart - Update Cart Button Location.

"Continue Shopping" and "Checkout" are just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

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).

The update "button" was changed to an "icon" and therefore removed from the CSS buttons functionality completely.

Strange, I got a quite fresh 1.3.6 install and the /includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/button_update_cart.gif is still being used somehow.

The only icon I see on that page is: /includes/templates/template_default/images/icons/small_delete.gif

hhmm... appears that something that should have happened hasn't. Sorry.

Thanks all! So I must use gifs/jpgs/pngs for "update cart" and "delete"?

Thx for telling Kim, I already wondered if I had changed something without remembering (which happens more often than I like).

@Rand:
at this moment (v1.3.6) delete is an icon and is not handled by the css buttons function. The update_cart is a gif button and is handled by the css buttons function, but it will probably change to an icon in the next Zen version.

Why the update_cart shows a gif button now is the long alt text (see my first reply).

Thank you paulm, my update cart button is now as I would like it.

Just curious, why the separation of update cart and delete out of the CSS buttons function?

Just curious, why the separation of update cart and delete out of the CSS buttons function?I was wondering about that too, I would rather keep it the way it was. Now it's easy to switch beween image button and CSS button, but if it's an icon a code change will be needed to do the same.

No big deal of corse, but I only a disadvatage and no advantage.

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
