Copy & Paste CSS buttons

CSS we can create beautifully detailed buttons in modern browsers. If you are viewing this in Internet Explorer 8 or older, please open a modern browser such as Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox, or Chrome. The buttons will still work in older browsers but will not have all the styling available to modern browsers.

How do I use this?


How do I use this code?

There's not one way to use this code, but if you have no idea what to do, here's a simple way to start...

  1. In EZ-PageBuilder add a Title block
  2. Make it a link by adding a "#" in the URL
  3. Under CSS Class type "button1"
  4. Push Submit
  5. Click File > Page Options
  6. In the box labeled Head Code paste the code for the first button
  7. Put an opening <style> tag at the beginning and a closing </style> tag at the end of the code. So your head code will look like this...
<style>
.button1 a{ display:inline-block; font-weight:bold; font-size:1.55em; color: darkred; background: gold; padding: .7em; text-decoration:none; border-radius:3px; line-height:1; text-shadow: 1px 1px #fea; border:solid 2px #fe9; box-shadow: 0 2px 3px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.3), inset 0 -2px 2px 2px rgba(200,80,0,.2); transform-origin:bottom; } .button1 a:hover { background:#fd4; color:#c00; border-color:#fea; } .button1 a:active { transform:scale(.996); box-shadow: 0 2px 2px 0px rgba(0,0,0,.5), inset 0 -2px 2px 2px rgba(200,80,0,.2); }
</style>

8. Push Submit. If you did everything correctly, your link should now look like a gold button.


Troubleshooting

  • Double check your class name inside the title block. It should say "button1" not ".button1".
  • Make sure that the head code looks like the code above with an opening <style> and closing </style>.
  • If you choose to use one of the other buttons make sure your class name matches the code you put in your header.  For example .button2{...} should match with CSS Class "button2".
