Hi, is that possible?
I have tried many things but each of them failed. I saw there was once a
patch available some time ago, was it included in Rails?

Do you want a button or an image? If you want an image, you
link_to image_tag(…), …

I want both.
Instead of having an ugly button, I want to display my very own image.

Use CSS to style the button, with your image as background.

What I want is to be able to generate html code that looks like this
using the button_to (or other means) helper:
There is no need for css. I can’t just type raw html, as I need the
authenticity token to be created too as data is being POSTed to the
server.
image_submit_tag

This means I have to use the form_tag also.
But I think it is the only way to do it though. It is really strange
that the Rails team didn’t think about that option for the button_to
helper.

Styling form elements like buttons isn’t cross-platform portable. It
flat out doesn’t work in IE 6 or below, I’m not sure of the
capabilities of IE 7. Works fine in Firefox / Safari, so if that’s all
you care about then have at it.

Or use the code from button_to to make your own image_button_to
method in application_helper.rb; it really only amounts to changing
this line:
html_options.merge!("type" => "submit", "value" => name)
to something like
html_options.merge!("type" => "image", "src" => "/button.png",
“alt” => “go”, “value” => name)
Assuming you don’t want to patch the source itself to accept the
additional parameters…

Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I had a similar goal – to build something like this:
page down to "the heading “The Result” where it shows a Login button,
a Change Password link and a Cancel link.
I came up with two helpers:
alt=“”/> Sign Up
def button_tag(name, icon, options={})
icon_path = ‘/stylesheets/blueprint/plugins/buttons/icons/’
icon_path += icon
img = tag(“img”, :src => icon_path,
:alt =>“”, :open => false)
img << ’ ’ + name
options.merge!(“type” => ‘submit’) unless options[:type]
content_tag(:button, img, options)
end
cross.png" alt=“”/> Cancel
def img_link_tag(name, icon, options={})
icon_path = ‘/stylesheets/blueprint/plugins/buttons/icons/’
icon_path += icon
img = tag(“img”, :src => icon_path,
:alt =>“”, :open => false)
img << ’ ’ + name
options.merge!(:href => ‘root’) unless options[:href]
content_tag(:a, img, options)
end
Usage: in my login form
<%= button_tag ‘Login’, ‘key.png’, :class => ‘button positive’
%>
<%= img_link_tag ‘Cancel’, ‘cross.png’, :href => ‘/’, :class
=> ‘button negative’ %>

If its useful, and its not already in rails, then create a patch for it,
http://rails.lighthouseapp.com
next time someone needs the functionality, they’ll say;
“isn’t rails great, they even thought of this circumstance”
if noone ever adds it, it’ll never get added.
you are a genius dude, you saved my life.a trillion thx to you, and the
other dude with the patches.
i don’t find the words to describe how much i appreciate you talking the
time to help us…!
all my respect,
radu
