I used the IWImageButton.
To my disappointment it turned out to be a clickable image.
How can I get a real button with an image on, that can be pressed down,
like the ones from IWDBNavigator?
I specified BorderOptions with width 3 and colour clWEBDarkGray.
At design, I see the border (but no image: images/pict.gif).
In the browser, I see the image, but no border?

I asked this question a couple of years ago. Unfortunately you
can't get an image button to look and act like a button. Sad but true.

I would be happy with the look and feel of the buttons from the
IWDBNavigator.
It looks that they made a combination of a normal IWButton and an
IWImage that is displayed inside the top surface.
The underlying button, from which only the border is visible, makes the
visual effect of being pressed.
IMHO, they could even enhance the effect by moving the image 1 pixel.
Anyway, it is possible to have or make a web counterpart of the BitButton
or SpeedButton.
And when I put the first one on the form, I was expecting this kind of
button in stead of a clickable image.
While testing, I noticed also something weird with Mozilla browsers
(NetScape, FireFox).
If you don't move the mouse, the first click presses the button deeper
as the consecutive clicks.
If you specify borderoptions, do you see them in the browser?
Regards, Gerard.

switched to RTC (I needed more control than what IW could give me).

What is RTC?

Like IW it can create its own web server or run as ISAPI. You can also
use it to write thin client applications or pull down webpages from
other sites. It is simpler than IW but faster and I have fewer hoops to
go through (I control everything via HTML without requiring javascript).
There is a 3rd party add-on for adding db controls but I haven't needed
it yet. It is much cheaper, really fast, and has excellent support (24
hrs). it is for programmers who don't need a lot of hand holding that IW
provides. There are videos on the website in case anyone is interested.

Thank you Sam.
