While working on a recent mobile website project, one of the requirements was to make the site as lightweight as possible so not to impact loading times on mobile devices.
The CSS is cross-browser ready and utilises the CSS generated by Colorzilla’s Ultimate CSS Gradient Generator and css3generator.com
Here’s the CSS Code used to generate the button
.button
{
padding:3px 8px;
font:bold 1em Arial; color:#ffffff;
text-shadow: 0px 1px 1px #000000;
filter: dropshadow(color=#000000, offx=0, offy=1);
background: rgb(106,155,203); /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(106,155,203,1) 0%, rgba(61,125,188,1) 49%, rgba(47,115,182,1) 50%, rgba(31,105,177,1) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
