Hi all,
My site has alot of plain text hyperlinks, which is kind of boring. I want to create some buttons, similar in appearance to the google search button. In Dreamweaver, I know that it is possible to create a form button to do this. However, I can't seem to be able to adjust the length of the button itself, and the button never aligns perfectly with the text. I also can't modify the button font and text size.
Its obviously something really simple and the even the online manuals dont tell me how to do something like this.

D'oh!! My apologies.
wrote ... is there any way to use a picture as the background for the button?
Yep, try:
style="background:url('path/picture.ext') top left no-repeat #003366;"
You may replace "top" "left" with "bottom" "right" "center" or a px, em, or % value, and similarly you can replace "no-repeat" with "repeat-y" or "repeat-x" or remove it altogether for the picture to tile in both directions. If the background has transparent pixels or doesn't tile, then you can define a background colour as well, as you see.

Matt is doing a good job of answering your questions, Penguin, but an even better solution would be to learn HTML and CSS yourself. Dreamweaver creates mangled code and as you get more specific, it becomes more of a hinderance than anything.
Learning HTML and CSS will require a bit of effort, but I encourage you to do so. The results are rewarding, and writing clean code is more fun than battling Dreamweaver. If you're interested, Tizag.com has an HTML and a CSS tutorial, and W3 Schools is a useful reference.
