Quick button help

I've been redesigning my store and somehow the grey search button is gigantic, but can't find a way to make it normal again?

Still haven't found it

Difficult to assist you just looking at an image. Your best bet is to use FireFox, download the firebug addon. Using Firebug - you can select "Inspect", then run the mouse over you button. It will show you exactly what css code or html code is creating the button.

I'll give that a whirl. I just can't find where it is

Also - you can use webmastermode and firebug at the same time - that will zero you in on the template - if the problem is coming from the html

I looked and it doesn't appear to have any size indicated in the css or tpl. Oddly enough, it looks normal in firefox, but gigantic in IE5,6, and 7. I'm stumped

I did recently install the one page checkout, aom, special offers, and upgraded to 4.1.10 if that matters

There is a similar tool in Internet Explorer that is not as nice as Firebug - but when you have issues unique to IE - it often helps to use it - it is called IE Developer Toolbar

I took a look at your page - The IE developer toolbar is classifing your search button as not having layout. Strange - but maybe if you assigned specific css size properties - you could regain control. Something like <input type="submit" style="width:200px" value=" Search:"/> ?? You can play around with giving specific css properties and see if it goes away. If it works you could be seeing what is described here.

You may find that you want to have a standard css class for all your submit buttons - you can set the color, size and font - and not be at the mercy of the browsers.

Thanks, I'll keep looking for it, and try that.

The buttons that appear to be in the same class are all regular sized, just the ones marked "Search:"

Any mor guidance? I can't find out how/where to change it
