css... image buttons... it's got me stumped?

[kaiu]

G'day all;

 

I have a design & layout issues with osCommerce...

 

I am developing a site with a number of mini sites branching off...

up until now I have been able to achieve a consistant look and feel mainly with the use of css and the INPUT, SELECT & TEXTAREA properties, eg.

 

INPUT, SELECT {

BORDER-RIGHT: #196790 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #196790 1px solid;

BORDER-LEFT: #196790 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #196790 1px solid;

)

 

The problem that I have is that I get a nasty border around the image buttons that are input buttons (the link buttons are fine).

 

I don't seem to be able to over ride the page wide css with placing my style in the html tag <TD style=""> before the form/submit button etc.

 

If all else fails, is there a way of not using the image buttons...? for links and input forms. (asking as not clear with php...html not an issue)

 

cheers
