Submit Button Image is huge

  1. I'm using a graphic button i made. It like 25px by 50 so quite small. However the submit button is huge on my site probably 150 x 300. I have disabled it for the moment because its ugly.
    Please can you let me know what the problem is. page in questions: http://made-connection.com/
    its the grey button that looks boring on the right hand column.
    Thanks.

  2. Line 62 of your theme stylesheet sets a blanket 50% width on all inputs.

    [css]
    input {
        width: 50%;
    }

    That's sloppy CSS work. Inputs aren't all created equal so they shouldn't all be defined the same. When you add a custom image, it is still technically an input element ( input type='image' ) so it's going to inherit from that rule.

    You can add this to the end of your theme stylesheet and it should override the previous rule. I also threw in the cursor property because something was overriding that as well.

    [css]
    body .gform_wrapper .gform_footer input[type=submit],
    body .gform_wrapper .gform_footer input[type=image] {
    	width:auto;
    	cursor: pointer
    }

  5. You can probably just add a couple of other properties to the rule I gave you before. I know some themes like Thesis add padding and borders too that get inherited by the image buttons.

    [css]
    body .gform_wrapper .gform_footer input[type=submit],
    body .gform_wrapper .gform_footer input[type=image] {
    	width: auto;
    	cursor: pointer;
            padding: 0;
            border: none
    }
