Custom Icons on JQuery UI Button

in Using jQuery UI • 10 years ago

Howdie,

I have searched the forums and google for an answer to this and it seems pretty much every answer is out of date and doesn't work. After spending a couple of hours banging my head I'm stumped.

I simply want to replace the icon in a JQuery UI button with a custom icon. I have been attempting to do it this way based upon numerous posts I have found:

.icon_help {
    background-image: url(../image/Help_16x16.png) !important;
    width: 16px;
    height: 16px;
}
And then specifying it:

 $('#btn_help').button({
        icons: { primary: 'icon_help' },
        text: true
    });
I have tried numerous variations on this based upon various posts and none of them work. 

Can someone please post a simple example of replacing the icon in jquery ui button?

Thanks,
Nick
