Gform button, how do you add custom images to the next/previous buttons in CSS

I'm trying to make the 'next' 'previous' and 'submit' buttons show the images I've created instead of using text.
I did this in CSS by adding this code:
```
[css]
.gform_previous_button{
background-image:url('form_next.jpg');
width: 97px;
height: 50px;
border:0px;
color: transparent;
}
```
This seems to work fine in Firefox, but in Safari its showing a kinda white blob over each image. Its probably because the text 'value' still exists, but I don't know how to remove the text value from showing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Gravity Forms supports using images for buttons for the submit button and next/previous buttons.

You do this using the Form Settings for the submit button and going to the Advanced tab and changing the Form Button to use an Image instead of the default text. See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/4ly9N.png

For the Next/Previous buttons you would edit each individual Page Break field and configure the Next and Previous buttons to use an Image instead of the default text. See this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/HD22S.png

If you're trying replacing the button with a background image, you can usually use a negative "text-indent" value to hide the text off the left side of the viewport… something like this.
```
[css]
.gform_previous_button{
	background-image: url('..images/form_next.jpg');
	width: 97px;
	height: 50px;
	border: 0;
	color: transparent;
	text-indent: -9000px
}
```
