If the goal is to change the way the form buttons look, I think the
easiest way would be to use CSS and not create graphic files. For one
thing, you can keep using HTML to structure the form and secondly, this
makes your shopping cart code slightly more re-usable in that you don't
have to create new graphics should you want to use the same code for
another site -- you just change the values in the CSS file.
The only drawback is that Safari and Camino (and OmniWeb?) uses Apple's
Aqua widgits to display form buttons and totally ignores any CSS rules.
But, for the ease in which you can change the look of your buttons on
non-Cocoa-interface browsers, I think the CSS route is worth it.
