Where are those buttons coming from? A program? A website?

do you want to view the html/whatever source behind these buttons on the page? or the code behind the actual button image? to edit the image...open photoshop...to edit the code for the page that the buttons were

<form name="blah">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Reply">
<input type="reset" value="Clear Fields">
</form>

something to that extent...did not actually look at the source

I thought they were graphical buttons, LOL. I guess you must be using another browser or XP or something?

well guys i have grown a little more intelligent since i asked.
i wanted to create a form mail on my webpage and i learned the the button just "calls" on a cgi/php/perl script in the cgi-bin <action= "/cgi-bin/formail.pl" and thats how it works.
i thoguht that code was their behind the button but in most cases it is hidden in the cgi bin.
a good day at school for me. http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif

is that from sharkyforums? running xp eh?
you can't view the code behind them. they are server side scripts and you can't read them. if u could that would be a security hole

Not really. All buttons are is HTML. You can always View Source on it if you're curious.

Ah! The ambiguous statement "The code behind these buttons" can lead people in alot of different ways I guess. To me, I take it very litteraly...as in...the code which is required to display those buttons. But I can see what you meant.
