How to create a "send button" button?

Question

I am creating an HTML contact form that uses a standard image for a submit button.

Here is the html:

<form action="#">
    <fieldset>
        <input type="text" name="name" value="FULL NAME" onfocus="if (this.value=='FULL NAME') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="PHONE NUMBER" onfocus="if (this.value=='PHONE NUMBER') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="EMAIL" onfocus="if (this.value=='EMAIL') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="MOVE DATE" onfocus="if (this.value=='MOVE DATE') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="ORIGINATING ADDRESS" onfocus="if (this.value=='ORIGINATING ADDRESS') this.value='';"/>
        <input type="text" name="" value="DESTINATION ADDRESS" onfocus="if (this.value=='DESTINATION ADDRESS') this.value='';"/>
        <select name="type">
            <option value="Private">Private</option>
            <option value="Commercial">Commercial</option>
        </select>
        <input id="quoteSubmit" type="image" src="_images/btn_submit.png" alt="" />
    </fieldset>
</form>

The static image of the submit button is fine, but I would like to change it from mouseover to btn_submit-over.png.

I am familiar with the mouse using css sprites, but they do not work for submit buttons. I would appreciate help.

Thank!

With pure CSS,

<input type="submit" value="::Submit Query::" id="foo" />

...

  #foo {
    background-image: url('_images/btn_submit.png');
    width: <width here>;
    height: <height here>;
    border-style: none;
    background-color: transparent;
    text-indent: 480px;    /* hack to hide the text */
  }

  #foo:hover {
    background-image: url('_images/btn_submit-over.png')
  }

If CSS is disabled, it will revert to a simple submit button.

Then you can apply CSS sprite methods.

HTML FORM 'class':

<INPUT NAME="submit" class="submit" TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">   

CSS ( 'width:' 'height:', )

.submit {
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #cccccc;
-moz-border-radius: 5px; /* I hate square buttons for mozilla*/
border-radius: 5px; /* I hate square buttons for everybody else*/
font-family: Arial,Helvetic1,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular;
font-size: 18px;
color: #0000aa; /* font is blue */
}

.submit:hover {
color: #ff0000; /* font changes to RED on hover) */
}

, :

HTML:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="submit" value="&nbsp;" />

. CSS. ""   ( html ), .

CSS:

#submit {
width: 220px; 
height: 50px;
border: none;
background: url("images/submit.jpg") no-repeat; 
}
        #submit:focus {
        background: url("images/submit_over.jpg") no-repeat;    
        }

Notes. Width and height should be the width and height of your image. Then add border: none; to remove the default border.

Hope this helps! Much simpler than any of the above answers.
