Inline Image Replacement Technique

While I was updating the Photo Gallery for FCMS 2.0, I noticed that the previous and next buttons were plain text links and not image links like we use on the calendar and in the pagination throughout the site.  I realized that this was done like this in the beginning because I didn’t know of a way to do image replacement on inline elements such as an anchor tag.

The calendar and pagination are both block level tags (unordered lists).  Changing the code didn’t seem like a good idea for consistent themes, so I went searching to see if their was another solution.  That’s what I found the following blog post which does exactly what I’m looking for.

So now, the Photo Gallery will use and instead of << and >>.
