Chapter 2. Shiny Buttons

CSS3 buttons have been considered a hot topic since they were first introduced on cutting-edge browsers' nightly builds. Buttons are important, well-recognized elements of the majority of user interfaces. What makes them a hot topic for web developers is that CSS3 buttons are easy to modify by simply changing the text or the stylesheet declarations.

In this chapter, we'll create buttons that mimic their real-world counterparts using only CSS3. While doing so, we'll explore new CSS properties and tricks to achieve our goals. We will cover the following topics:

  • A coin-operated push button

  • The :before and :after pseudo-selectors

  • Gradients

  • Avoiding experimental prefixes

  • Shadows

  • Adding labels

  • Handling mouse clicks

  • Small change in CSS, big results

  • An ON/OFF switch

  • The active state

  • The checked state

  • Adding colors

  • Supporting older browsers

  • A final note on CSS gradient syntax
