| Do you want a nice button image to use to link to the site or do you want a plain button normally shown when using type="button"? |

Here are links to two buttons:
1) Button (PNG)
2) Button (GIF)
If you like this, will post link code, but it will look something like this:
| Code: |
| <a href="http://www.dieseltruckchips.com/Dodge%20price%20list.pdf" title="H&S Waiver Form"><img style="width: 127px; height: 35px; border: 0;" src="image path" alt="H&S Waiver Form"></a> |
PNG is better, but IE has problems with PNG images.

| Best to use the GIF one as IE has transparency problems with PNGs. Just copy image to your hard drive and upload it to your site. Set the image src="" to the image path in relation to the page the button is on. |

This is not a proper link to anything when your page is online:
| Code: |
| C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\H&S waiver button.gif |
You MUST use the path to the image when it is online as stated in my previous post. Did you download the image to your hard drive and upload it to your site? Do not link to image at imageshack as I will delete that button once you have gotten it to work.
Which do you want to use then? Button or text. I tried the button in my HTML Editor and both the image and link works. |

You are not paying attention to my example nor what I am saying in my previous posts.
Neither of these are going to work:
| Code: |
<a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5781/hswaiverformvq0.gif' border='0'/></a>
<a href="http://www.dieseltruckchips.com/Dodge%20price%20list.pdf" title="H&S Waiver Form"><img style="width: 127px; height: 35px; border: 0;" src="http://www.customandclassicautostore.com/servlet/the-12/07.5-pls--Dodge-6.7-5%22/Detail" alt="H&S Waiver Form"></a> |
I said don't link to the imageshack image which is showing the button. Why have you not downloaded the image and uploaded to your image folder? This is in no way an image link: "http://www.customandclassicautostore.com/servlet/the-12/07.5-pls--Dodge-6.7-5%22/Detail"

This is where your site's favicon is located along with most or all the other images: "http://www.customandclassicautostore.com/images/favicon.ico"
Don't you have access to uploading images? You obviously are editing and correcting the pages. |
