How do I create a Submit button mouseover?

I am creating an HTML contact form that uses a standard image for a submit button.

Here is the html:

<form action="#">
    <fieldset>
        <input type="text" name="name" value="FULL NAME" onfocus="if (this.value=='FULL NAME') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="PHONE NUMBER" onfocus="if (this.value=='PHONE NUMBER') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="EMAIL" onfocus="if (this.value=='EMAIL') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="MOVE DATE" onfocus="if (this.value=='MOVE DATE') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="ORIGINATING ADDRESS" onfocus="if (this.value=='ORIGINATING ADDRESS') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="DESTINATION ADDRESS" onfocus="if (this.value=='DESTINATION ADDRESS') this.value='';"/>
        <select name="type">
            <option value="Private">Private</option>
            <option va开发者_JAVA百科lue="Commercial">Commercial</option>
        </select>
        <input id="quoteSubmit" type="image" src="_images/btn_submit.png" alt="" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

The static Submit button image is okay, but I would like change it on mouseover to btn_submit-over.png.

I am familiar with mouseovers useing css sprites, but they don't work for submit buttons. I would appreciate some help.

Thanks!

With pure CSS,

<input type="submit" value="::Submit Query::" id="foo" />

...

  #foo {
    background-image: url('_images/btn_submit.png');
    width: <width here>;
    height: <height here>;
    border-style: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    text-indent: 480px;    /* hack to hide the text */
  }

  #foo:hover {
    background-image: url('_images/btn_submit-over.png')
  }

If CSS is disabled it will revert to a simple submit button.

You could then apply the CSS sprite techniques.

You can do this several ways... with jquery might be the best way, but this is how you do it without.

Change
<input id="quoteSubmit" type="image" src="_images/btn_submit.png" alt="" />

to
<input id="quoteSubmit" type="image" src="_images/btn_submit.png" alt="" onmouseover="javascript:this.src='_images/btn_submit-over.png'" onmouseout="javascript:this.src='_images/btn_submit.png'"/>

Just from the top of my head, I guess that should work.

Classic solution (similar to Mitch's above):

For the HTML in the FORM, add a 'class':

<INPUT NAME="submit" class="submit" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">   

For the CSS, make hover change text color (add 'width:' and 'height:' lines if you need to)

.submit {
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #cccccc;
-moz-border-radius: 5px; /* I hate square buttons for mozilla*/
border-radius: 5px; /* I hate square buttons for everybody else*/
font-family: Arial,Helvetic1,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;
font-size: 18px;
color: #0000aa; /* font is blue */
}

.submit:hover {
color: #ff0000; /* font changes to RED on hover) */
}

Wouldn't it be possible to use a class?

<input type="submit" class="submit" .../>

CSS:
input.submit:hover{
   color: Green;
} 

or you could use then a little JavaScript to handle the swapping of images and to cause the button to call submit() (javascript:document.theform.submit())

OldSchool:

        <a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit(); return false"
onmouseover="document.subBut.src=document.subBut.src.replace('.png','over.png')"
onmouseout="document.subBut.src=document.subBut.src.replace('over.png','.png')"><img 
name="subBut" src="_images/btn_submit.png" alt="" border="0" /></a>

Basically this is what are you going to do:

HTML Markup:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="submit" value="&nbsp;" />

Notes: Create an ID for the CSS. In the "Value", put   (the html markup for a blank space) and this will make the default "value" blank.

CSS Markup:

#submit {
width: 220px; 
height: 50px;
border: none;
background: url("images/submit.jpg") no-repeat; 
}
        #submit:focus {
        background: url("images/submit_over.jpg") no-repeat;    
        }

Notes: The width and height should be the width and height of your image. Then add border: none; to remove the default border that appears.

Hope this helps! Much simpler than any of the above answers.
