We can start by adding in two simple mixins to our code—let's begin by editing a copy of buttons.css
and then adding the following code at the start of the file:
.shadow() { box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.2); text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.3); } .formfont { font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
Next, we can remove the original code from the .button
style block, as this is no longer needed—it will be replaced by the names of our three simple mixins:
.button { .shadow; .formfont; display: inline-block; outline: none; cursor: pointer; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; padding: .5em 2em .55em; border-radius: .5em; }
Save this as mixins1.less
; we can then remove the buttons.css
link that is already in the code. Don't forget to add in a link for our Less file, within mixins1.html
:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/less" href="css/mixins1.less">
Save the HTML file as mixins1.html
