Vista Style Buttons CSS [relevance: 1.29]

Resizable Vista style buttons with a gradient in XHTML/CSS

As I had to spend an entire afternoon trying to get these to work I might as well post them

To get your lovely Vista Style buttons just screen shot Vista or make a rectangle with 2 gradients that meet.. then add a boarder and blend the corner pixels onto whatever backdrop you want to put them on.

Cut the edge off one side upto the point where repetition starts (i.e. where the bevel or boarder ends)
save this as an image-left.* then flip it horizontally and save it as image-right.*
then take the next column of pixels along that starts the repetition - take 1px width and save as image-centre.*
if you want to make hovers repeat the process with an alternate image

Vista Button CSS

.buttonLeft {
background-image: url(button-right.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top right;
display:block;
float:left;
/*external border spacing*/
margin:4px;
}

.buttonRight {
background-image: url(button-left.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
display:block;
}

.buttonCentre{
/*line-height pushes the display block to the full height of the containing image*/
line-height:26px;
/*Inner boarders*/
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:4px;
background-image: url(button-centre.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x ;
background-position: top left;
display:block;
}

span.buttonCentre:hover{
background: url(button-centre-hover.gif) ;
}
span.buttonLeft:hover {
background-image: url(button-right-hover.gif);
}
span.buttonRight:hover {
background-image: url(button-left-hover.gif);
}

And then all you have to do is make a few containing spans and you have your buttons

buttonText

like this: buttonText

To conclude - these buttons are infinitely horizontally resizable and do display properly - however the hover does not work perfectly, if you hit the outer nested elements they will hover without making the internal elements hover..
