   Hi!

   I want to use an image instead of text for the "Edit post" link in my theme.
   When I use edit_post_link('', '', ''); it still gives me some HTML tags, thus I can't use it as image link.

   This is also not working: <?php edit_post_link('<img src="'.bloginfo('stylesheet_directory').'/icons/page_edit.png" title="Edit this page">', '', ''); ?> because the "bloginfo()" function echo's its text and doesn't return it as string.

   I also tried to do it manually, but this isn't working either, the "the_ID()" function returns nothing (""): `/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/icons/page_edit.png" title="Edit this page">`

   What can I do? Please help!

   EDIT:
   These forum can't display my last solution (the manual one). Here again:
   

   <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=<?php the_ID(); ?>">
          <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/icons/page_edit.png" title="Edit this page"></a>

   It's working now with this code:

   function get_ID() {
   	global $wp_query;
   	$thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
   	return $thePostID;
   }

   and

   <?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit&post=<?php echo get_ID(); ?> as link.
