The whole idea is to use a combination of subtle effects to create a three dimensional object. The idea is that:

• The button is set into the canvas.
• The texture of the button is different from the canvas and the surface is slightly raised.
• And the text of the button is pressed into it.

The result is a great looking button with CSS3.

They allow for a lot of stylistic customizationn via a few lines of css while keeping all the display critical css rules hidden deep inside the plugin.

Supported browsers

• Opera 10 beta
• Opera 9.6x
• Firefox 3
• Firefox 2
• Safari 4
• Safari 3
• Internet Explorer 8 beta
• Internet Explorer 7
• Internet Explorer 6
• Chrome
• Adobe AIR 1.5+

There are two known issues on Internet Explorer though. On activated buttons the right darker border disappears and onchange events are not fired because they don’t work on noninput elements.

The buttons should be applicable on any element, although I’ve mostly tested with spans. Also, in order to preserve the semantic structure of your documents, all markup needed to render the buttons is nested inside the main element. To make a styled Button you basically just call the styledButton() function on it.

Too many designers neglect the click state (active: property in CSS) in web design, either because they’re unaware of it, underestimate the importance of it or are plain lazy.
