The search button should look like a button.  It should have a mouseover and a
depressed state to it.

reassign the bug to german who will work on this and pass it to don's team. cc

Target Milestone: M14
that's right, also a hover state should be added. Don, while somebody in your 
team is working on navigator.css, can you please add to the current code:
#search-button { 
	list-style-image:none;
	margin: 0px;
	margin-right: 2px;
	background-color: #99CCCC;
	border: 2px solid #99CCCC;
	-moz-border-radius: 4px;
} 
the following two states:

#search-button:hover { 
	background-color: #ccffff;
     padding: 1px;
	border: 1px outset #ccffff;
} 

#search-button:active { 
	background-color: #ccffff;
     padding-top: 2px;
	padding-left: 2px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
	border: 1px inset #ccffff;
}

Also the label Search should be all caps like so: SEARCH (change in 
navigator.dtd)

Thanks for pointing this out!

I agree that it should have mouseover and dpressed behavior, but none of the
other toolbar buttons (i.e. back, forward, etc.) are "standard this way.  I'll
leave it to Ben to duke it out with German on this one. :-)
Must get in fix by 02/23 please.

Claudius, this is probably more your area than mine. If you're swamped, feel
free to push it back to me and I'll gladly do it.

Assuming this is an XP thing:
I'm reopening for two reasons
1. I don't see the hover state that the above code describes.
2. Where's the border for active and inactive states?

Without these two things the button just shows the bonk (depressed) effect but it's kinda sad looking and does not match any of 
the other UI.
I'm looking at the 2000022509 linux build btw.

a hover effect for this type of button has not been described anywhere.

Hover should be as described above: #search-button:hover { background-color: #ccffff; padding: 1px; border: 1px outset #ccffff;
