Lets look at the html code for a gray submit button:

<input type=”submit” value=”submit”>

That code looks like this:

Which visually can be quite boring and very amateur design-wise. To swap that button out for an image use this line of code instead:

<input type=”image” src=”pathtoimage/imagename.jpg”>

The text after src would be the path to the image you want to use. This is what our form looks like now:

With a little CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), you can change the size of the image and the spacing between the text box and image.
