<input type="submit" name="helpme" style="background:
url('/images/btn-helpme.gif'); width: 351px; height: 80px; border: 0;"
value="" onmouseover="kbutHitState(this);" />
 
with the function:
 
function kbutHitState(oButton)
 {
  oButton.style.backgroundImage = "url(/'images/btn-helpme_on.gif')";
 }
 
This works fine in FF, but I get a script error in IE: "invalid argument".
 
Does IE not support the access of the backgroundImage property on a submit
input? The kluginess(tm) of this is just a-killin me."



not sure from a technical perspective but i think the border attribute
should be

border-width:0px; 
 
it may explain the error and may even help!!
