Web designers have been making dynamically-sized buttons using the “sliding doors” trick for awhile now, but isn’t that technique so 2003? Wouldn’t it be cooler to construct buttons using only CSS?
Line25 has a fresh tutorial on How To Create a Stylish Button Entirely with CSS3.
Next we can begin styling the button with a coloured background, this is where CSS gradients come in handy. Two colour swatches are converted into gradient syntax for both Mozilla and Webkit browsers using the handy CSS Gradient Generator, then a fallback option of a flat colour is added for non-supporting browsers.
The tutorial only uses the -moz and -webkit gradient properties, but someone in the comments included ones for Opera, Internet Explorer 10 and the W3C’s proposed syntax for the actual CSS3 spec.
