use javascript and put those buttons out of the FORM.
| <input type="submit" onclick="document.forms["form1"].submit();"/>
|
don't forget to use RenderResponse.getNamespace() to properly namespace the form names in order to avoid collisions.

| IMO, the CMS icons don't make the CMS editor easier to understand.
|
|
| Second, it can take 15 minutes *if* i have the icons, but much longer if
| i have to design the meaningful icons.
|
| I'd like us to be pragmatic, either i get the icons from someone but we
| have been asking for a designer for years or this Jira task is doomed
| and we move on and release with simple explicit text.
For icons : use whatever icons you want (sponge bob or homer simpson), we will start a process that will involve the design team to get the proper icons once we know the icons we need. Chris D. will determine what are the proper graphics to get on the icons.
