    Awwwwwww...... Go to mommy--she'll help you.


    kj, if all you want is a flat button try this:

    <html><head><ti tle>button test</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    input.flat_butt on {
    border-style: none;
    background-color: transparent
    }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <form action=""><p>
    <input type="button" class="flat_but ton" value="can't select me">
    </p></form>
    </body></html>

    For more info, check this out:

                It's hardly the responsibility of the site author to "protect" the user
                against the consequences (aesthetic or otherwise) of accidentally (or on
                purpose) using standard browser features and having them cause the
                standard result.

                    People responded to what you asked. You can hardly blame usenauts for
                    not knowing that you meant to ask something else.

                    In IE that results in text which has no indication at all that it is
                    clickable, and so the button is pointless. Welcome to Mystery Meat.

                    If you're wanting to suppress the hover effect, a better approach is
                    something like:
                    input.my_button { background-color: #BBBBBB; }
                    input.my_button :hover { background-color: #BBBBBB; }

                    But it's a bad idea to use buttons for navigation anyway (if that was
                    the original idea) because they are unusable for people without
                    Javascript.

                    Meaning what? Ignore people who are trying to achieve usable, accessible
                    web-pages?

                        Of course, you can make an ordinary link *look* like a button, and *act*
                        like one from the user's point of view, with the right CSS.
