bootstrap button coloring issue - html

Question

I am trying to style and color buttons in bootstrap, however when I change the color, when hovering, it comes out like this:
**edit: I need more reputation points to post images, but what happens is when I hover over it, only half of the chosen color shows. I think it has to do with bootstrap not being able to read 'gradients.'
What's the deal? here's my code:
.btn {
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
padding: 4px 12px;
margin-bottom: 0;
*margin-left: .3em;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 20px;
text-align: center;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.75);
vertical-align: middle;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #ff0001;
*background-color: red;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, red, #e6e6e6);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#ff0001), to(#ff0001));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff, #e6e6e6);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff, #e6e6e6);
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #ffffff, #e6e6e6);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
*border: 0;
border-color: #e6e6e6 #e6e6e6 #bfbfbf;
border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
border-bottom-color: #b3b3b3;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='red', endColorstr='red', GradientType=0);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(enabled=false);
*zoom: 1;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2), 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}

Answer 1

Bootstrap's buttons have background-position applied to them:
.btn:hover {
background-position: 0 -15px;
-webkit-transition: background-position 0.1s linear;
-moz-transition: background-position 0.1s linear;
-o-transition: background-position 0.1s linear;
transition: background-position 0.1s linear;
}
You can either delete the style in bootstrap's main css file. Or add this to your own css file:
.btn:hover {
background-position: 0px;
}
