You must be extremely new to this. Google some stuff on how to start using a site.
What you'll need to do is upload an image to your server using ftp and then insert that image on a page.

Well, if you're asking how to make a button for a form just use the little snippet below at the end of your form before the </form> tag.

CODE

<value="Submit" type="submit" class="button">

If you're asking how to use a image as a button then just define the 'button' class in your css with a background-image: url(""); property that has the url of the image you want to use. Like so:

Your CSS:

CODE

.button {background-color:transparent; background-image: url("http://www.urlofimage.com/urlofimage.png"); width:XXXpx; height:XXXpx;}

You can also google on how to use different methods on this. Also, I'm not sure but if you're asking how to make a picture/video upload form than that will require knowledge of PHP and Javascript.

I think he means turn an image of a button into a link. for that you could use.

CODE

<a href="link"><img border="0" src="image"></a>

[Mikeplyts]

^Or that. w/e.

I think you should've written the code a little different so that he could understand better.

CODE

<a href="URL DESTINATION"><img src="IMAGE URL" border="0"></a>

you can use

CODE

<input type="image" src="IMAGE URL HERE" />

, That works the same way as a submit button. Make sure you replace IMAGE URL HERE with an image url.

Uh...guys? Unless I'm completely misinterpreting something, he wants to know how to allow users to upload images and videos via an HTML form:

This is a bit complicated. To handle uploads via a web form, you have to have a script that can process the incoming data and spit it out as an appropriate file. There are some content management systems or frameworks (Rails, Django, etc.) that can do this for you.

o?
Thats kinda what I thought.
But he would need to use php. And he seems like a noob so that would be a tad difficult.

you can use

CODE

<input type="image" src="IMAGE URL HERE" />

, That works the same way as a submit button. Make sure you replace IMAGE URL HERE with an image url.

Unless he wants:

CODE

<form method="link" action="http://createblog.com/">
<input type="submit" value="BUTTON!">
</form>

You don't have to use PHP -- you can use another server-side language.

Tip #1: PHP blows.

yes this is what i meant, lol at the others. do you know which content management system has this (thats good)or do they all have it?

[rail01]

does joomla have this?

[sunshine07]

Um, you can try this -

I'm not sure if that is what you want, though.

Try http://drupal.org or http://wordpress.org

Wordpress comes with built-in media support. Drupal must install some specific modules to meet your needs. Go with the easiest way you can follow.
Both communities are very active and helpful, and most of all, open source, if that matters
