This is not a style property. In fact, this URL value is output as the
src property of an HTML input element.

This is not the correct way to set button properties. Please note that
the public APIs are documented in the TLD docs below. In particular, see
example #5 for the button tag.

To encapsulate brand and functionality changes, you must use the
Woodstock APIs. For example:||

    |<script type="text/javascript">|
    |    var domNode = document.getElementById("form1:button1"); // Get
    button|
    |    domNode.setProps({src: "myImage"});|
    |</script>|
