As per the subject, is there a way to change the submit button within a Formbuilder form from a submit input element to an image input element?

it can be done quite easily with css.
but changing the type from <input type="submit" to <input type="image" will cause grief with IE, so I wouldn't recommend hacking the code.

Thanks, I overlooked the CSS method!
What are the issues with input type=image with IE? I've never had (to my knowledge) any adverse problems.

The eternal bane of every web designer's existence (aka: Internet Explorer) doesn't pass the values properly when you use input type=image not sure why. There are loads of hacks out there but like calguy recommended the quickest, easiest and cleanest option (IMHO) is just to work the button with CSS to use a background-image.
