Hi, and thanks for the two replies.

Well, perhaps in this case I was using a button when a button should not
be used. I was using the button to give me on-click functionality in my
tables, like to make it possible to sort by a column by clicking on its
header.

In the meantime I found out that I can do the same thing with just plane
<td> tags. I discovered that I can give an onclick handler to a <td>, as
well as an id, etc. So basically I am now building my own buttons.

Images won't work here since the text is dependent on the application.

So now I am converting all the places where I used buttons in this manner
to just clickable <td> tags.

regards,
Steve
