Hi I've an image submit button on a form that needs to appear flat on
the surface. I can't get rid of the shadow that appears bottom and

The following url explains how to style your submit button:

Yeah, but the info there doesn't work on Safari, Camino, or Opera 7 on
the Macintosh. The page didn't display very well in IE 5.2. It's
_really_ broken in iCab, but that's probably because iCab is really
broken on the Mac.
The form field didn't display on Safari either.
Why do lazy web designers assume that Windows is the _only_ platform?
Forms and form elements are merely an OS dependant thing and therefore
they should not be styled. You might have them styled well for now, but
when for example Windows Longhorn with its new IE comes it might look
completely wrong (but most often it is somewhere in between the OS style
and the described style in your code).
If you want it OS independend try to avoid form elements (although I
won't recommend to do so), use a normal image or hypertext link to fire
a javascript that submits (the javascript disabled browsers would have a
problem then, but you might offer them a normal submit button, but that
requires another workaround, bla, bla....).
