I am trying to add a background image to a button (or link with the same class) which already has a background color.
Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BNvke/
The button looks great by itself, but I am trying to make it so that if I add a certain class, the padding will be adjusted and a background image will be displayed, however the image does not show. Here is the CSS/HTML:
.button {
padding: 10px;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, FreeSans, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
line-height: 1em;
position: relative;
outline: none;
overflow: visible;
cursor: pointer;
border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px 0 #CCCCCC;
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px 0 #CCCCCC;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px 0 #CCCCCC;
}
.button_blue {
border: 1px solid #305875;
color: #FBFBFB;
background-color: #3D6E97;
}
.button_blue:hover {
color: #FBFBFB;
opacity: 0.9;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
}
.button_about {
background-image: url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png) 3px 5px no-repeat;
padding-left: 35px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
<p><a class="button button_blue">Without Background</a></p>
<p><a class="button button_blue button_about">With Background</a></p>
How can I get that background image to show?
see http://jsfiddle.net/BNvke/1/
just change
background-image url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png) 3px 5px no-repeat;
with
background: url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png) 3px 5px no-repeat;
and move up the last rule so the rule about background-color defined for .button_blue can be applied on cascade
.button {
background: url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png);
background-repeat: 3px 5px no-repeat;
}

I'm trying to recreate this image in CSS.
This is what I got from experimenting, so far. I used box-shadow to act as the second box. I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this?
h4 {
font-family: sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
background: white;
box-shadow: 10px 5px 0px 0px #ffffff, 11px 7px 0px 2px #000000;
}
<h4>3. Scouting for a location</h4>
You can achieve this via absolutely position pseudo element. Also avoid property duplication via CSS inheritance.
.border {
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
margin: 15px 15px;
background: white;
position: relative; /* new */
}
/* new */
.border:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: block;
background: inherit;
border-radius: inherit;
border: inherit;
left: 2px;
top: 2px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
<div class="border">3. Scouting for a location</div>
The concept behind using box-shadow is that two shadows, one white and one black, overlap to simulate a second black border. But the black shadow is only visible in the direction from which it is offset from the white shadow, so a gap is apparent between the original border and the black shadow (as shown in the OP's original post).
The "spread radius" of the black shadow could be utilized to eliminate this gap (cleverly demonstrated by Nirav Joshi), but then the curvature of the corners is amplified and the two borders look different.
To duplicate the original border, I'd use ::after to generate an absolutely-positioned pseudo-element and use z-index to place it behind the original element. To further ensure that the border is duplicated exactly, I like Vadim Ovchinnikov's idea of inheriting the border color and radius from the original element.
.border {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
margin: 15px 15px;
background: white;
}
.border::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 3px;
left: 3px;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index: -1;
}
<h4 class="border">3. SCOUTING FOR A LOCATION</h4>
Try this example
Hope it will help you.
.border {
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
margin: 15px 15px;
background: white;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px 0px #ffffff, 3px 3px 0px 3px #000000;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px 0px #ffffff, 3px 3px 0px 3px #000000;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px 0px #ffffff, 3px 3px 0px 3px #000000;
}
<div class="border">Title</div>
EDIT
Here now you can see that i made box-shadow to 3px and no longer right side corner.
Use an absolute positioned ::after or ::before pseudo element and have its z-index lower than the element itself.
I need to make sure that the 'Next' button below the video is centered vertically and horizontally within the block with the yellow background.
In addition, the 'click' effect on the button does not seem to work as intended. There is something causing a conflict here and I cannot figure out what.
When I only run the "next-video-button" and "next-video-button:active" CSS rules, everything works perfectly.
You may find my CSS and HTML below.
.course-video {
background: #f9c70f;
border: none;
margin: 0;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3) inset;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3) inset;
border-radius: 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0;
}
.next-video-button {
transition: all 0.1s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.1s;
padding: 7px 200px;
border-radius: 10px;
font-family: 'Montserrat';
font-size: 1em;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #888888;
border-bottom: 5px solid #5a5a5a;
text-shadow: 1px -2px #888888;
text-align: center;
}
.next-video-button:active {
transform: translate(0px,5px);
-webkit-transform: translate(0px,5px);
border-bottom: 1px solid;
}
.video-title {
font-family: montserrat;
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #000000;
padding: 0.5em;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 854px;
text-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
.video-descr {
width: 854px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 50px;
margin-top: -5px;
}
<div class="course-video video-title">Hello</div>
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/154094373" width="854" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
<div class="course-video video-descr">NEXT</div>
To center the button give it a width and add margin: 0 auto and display: block; to .next-video-button.
The button won't work though because of a href="#". Replace the # with the video URL.
How do I style a button, with a shadow, so that it looks like it is pressed in?
I tried using box-shadow: ... ;. But this didn't have any affect.
By creatively styling the :active or :focus pseudo classes using a box-shadow: inset ...;
Using the :active pseudo class:
button {
background: #ededed;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 10px 30px;
border-radius: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
}
button:active {
background: #e5e5e5;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px #c1c1c1;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px #c1c1c1;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px #c1c1c1;
outline: none;
}
<button>
Click me
</button>
Using the :focus pseudo class:
button {
background: #ededed;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 10px 30px;
border-radius: 3px;
cursor: pointer;
}
button:focus {
background: #e5e5e5;
outline: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px #c1c1c1;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px #c1c1c1;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px #c1c1c1;
}
<button>
Click me
</button>
As an alternative to buttons, there is also a possibility to simply use checkbox with the pseudo-class :checked to toggle between states.
label.label-checkbox {
cursor: pointer;
}
label.label-checkbox input {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
visibility: hidden;
pointer-events: none;
}
label.label-checkbox span {
padding: 11px 21px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
display: inline-block;
color: #202020;
border-radius: 6px;
margin: 7px;
background: #f5f5f5;
user-select: none;
}
label.label-checkbox input:checked + span {
box-shadow: inset 1px 2px 5px #777;
transform: translateY(1px);
background: #e5e5e5;
}
<h1>Pressed buttons with Checkbox</h1>
<label class="label-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<span>Checkbox</span>
</label>
<label class="label-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" checked>
<span>Styled</span>
</label>
<label class="label-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<span>As</span>
</label>
<label class="label-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" checked>
<span>Pressed</span>
</label>
<label class="label-checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<span>Buttons</span>
</label>
The best way is to nudge the button lower on the page. Using transformY would be the most straight-forward. However that can mess up the layout of other things in the page. So I think that it is better to use margin to temporarily lower the button, such as,
button {
background-color: white;
padding: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
box-shadow: 2px 1px 2px gray;
margin: 4px 10px 4px 10px;
}
button:active {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 white;
margin: 6px 10px 2px 10px;
}
<button>click me</button>
<button>click me</button>
<br>
<button>click me</button>
<button>click me</button>
As in the example, you can take away 2px from the bottom margin, and add 2px to the top margin, therefore you preserve the total size of the button.
You need vertical-align in case there are more than one button.
I think that the best way to make a button looks like it's pressed it's to make it a little darker.
button{
background-color: #03A9F4;
border: none;
padding: 15px 25px;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: white;
font-weight: 700;
border-radius: 3px;
}
button:hover, button:focus{
background-color: #0074a9;
outline: none;
}
<button>Button</button>
If you think visually about what happens when a push-button (like on an old-style stereo system) is pushed in, the button moves back. Visually, the face of the button is darker. The text on the button is inset. The border of the button is dark.
The other answers here all give part of the answer.
This visually does all of the above:
.btnPushed {
color: #efefef; //orig text color was #FFF
text-shadow: -1px -1px 0px #777, -1px -1px 0px #777;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 4px #222;
transform: translateY(1px); /* Add per Vince's helpful comment */
}
As you might notice, we apply the styling by adding a class.
$('button').click(function(){
$('button').removeClass('depressed');
$(this).addClass('depressed');
});
button {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #f5f5f5;
background-color: #b8860b;
background-image: linear-gradient(-180deg,#6699FF,#3473F5 90%);
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 20px;
outline: none; /* Removes Chrome's blue outline */
margin: 2px;
}
button:active{
}
.depressed{
color: #efefef;
text-shadow: -1px -1px 0px #777, -1px -1px 0px #777;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 3px #222;
margin: 3px -1px -1px 3px; /* T R B L */
transform: translateY(1px);
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button>Button1</button>
<button>Button2</button>
<button class="depressed">Button3</button>
<button>Button4</button>
To avoid the adjustment (movement) of the other buttons due to the margin change, just put each button into a fix-size div. That way the buttons move around within their divs, without affecting the other buttons inside their own divs.
$('button').click(function(){
$('button').removeClass('depressed');
$(this).addClass('depressed');
});
div {
display: inline-block;
width: 65px;
height: 25px;
}
button {
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #f5f5f5;
background-image: linear-gradient(-180deg,#6699FF,#3473F5 90%);
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 20px;
outline: none; /* Removes Chrome's blue outline */
margin: 2px;
}
button:active{
}
.depressed{
color: #efefef;
text-shadow: -1px -1px 0px #777, -1px -1px 0px #777;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 3px #222;
margin: 3px -1px -1px 3px; /* T R B L */
transform: translateY(1px);
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div><button>Button1</button></div>
<div><button>Button2</button></div>
<div><button class="depressed">Button3</button></div>
<div><button>Button4</button></div>
Update:
Added transform: translateY(1px), per Vince's helpful comment below.
.button{
color: white;
background-color: blue;
padding: 8px 25px;
border-radius : 7px;
}
.button:active {

I'm wondering if it is possible to create button looks like this:
With CSS only (no additional images).
What do you think?
Yes, it is possible using box-shadow. The example uses an anchor (a) tag but can very easily be adapted to a button also.
a {
background: beige;
border-radius: 4px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
padding: 4px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
color: black;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 1px maroon;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 1px maroon;
box-shadow: 0px 3px 1px maroon;
}
<a href='#'>Text hover</a>
Applying on button element: (Note to use border: 0px as buttons have a default border).
.shape {
background: beige;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 4px;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 1px maroon;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 1px maroon;
box-shadow: 0px 3px 1px maroon;
border: 0px;
}
<button class='shape'>Text hover</button>
Not sure why everyone is suggesting to use box-shadow, you can do this with border-radius and a bottom border alone:
body {
background: #000;
}
button {
background: #B6B694; /* Guesswork, you can find the actual colour yourself. */
border: none;
border-bottom: 2px solid #f00;
border-radius: 5px;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 14px;
padding: 10px 14px;
text-align: left;
width: 150px;
}
<button>Text hover</button>
You should post the code what tried so far. Any way try this one.
body {
background-color: #333;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 20px;
}
button {
background: beige;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: 0px 5px 0px maroon;
border: 0;
color: #333;
font-size: 17px;
padding: 10px 30px;
display: inline-block;
outline: 0;
}
button:hover {
background: #eaeab4;
box-shadow: 0px 5px 0px #4d0000;
}
button:active {
box-shadow: none;
margin-top: 5px;
}
<button type="button">Text hover</button>
From http://www.css3.info/preview/box-shadow/:
Example Q shows a shadow offset to the bottom and right by 5px, with a border-radius of 5px applied to each corner:
#Example_Q {
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px black;
-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px black;
box-shadow: 5px 5px black;
}
Example R shows the same shadow with a blur distance of 5px:
#Example_R {
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
-webkit-box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px black;
}
.example {
moz-border-radius:20px;
webkit-border-radius:20px;
border-radius:20px;
}
You want to make sure the radius works in every browser so use this code make the radius to work in all browsers.
try it your own
border-radius:20px;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
Could anyone show me some tutorials that make a button in css and doesn't require images? I googled it but everything involved images...
Thanks!
Um, define "button"? If you just want a basic button, you don't even need CSS, just use an HTML input or button tag...
<input type="button" value="Press me!" />
or
<button>Press me!</button>
If I understand you correctly, you want to make an arbitrary element look like a button?
Well ... just write CSS accordingly! Here's a kickoff example which makes a link look like a button:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 3489881</title>
<style>
a.button {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 2px;
background: lightgray;
border: 2px outset lightgray;
cursor: default;
}
a.button:active {
border-style: inset;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p><a class="button">link</a>
</body>
</html>
This one is kind of dull but gets the trick done!
h1 {
font-family: Arial;
}
a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 2 5px;
background: lightgray;
border: 5px outset lightgray;
cursor: default;
text-decoration:none;
color: black;
}
a:hover {
background: gray;
}
CSS:
.button{
background-color: #000;
color: #FF6600;
font: bolder 1.0em Tahoma;
border: 1px solid Yellow;
padding: 2px;
}
.button:hover{
border: 1px solid Red;
}
HTML:
<input type="button" class="button" value="Button"/>
<input type="button" class="button" value="Another"/>

There are some awesome examples here - Pure CSS Buttons - of buttons that don't need any images but are legit. I think that you could add some gradients to some of them, but otherwise they looks exactly like the ones on Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, etc. If you don't know much CSS, I'd suggest that you just copy one of those examples.
This is a very simple design, but looks pretty good
body {

font-size: .8rem;
}
.button {
text-align: center;
background-color: #888;
border-top: 0px solid #fff; /*define the color of the upper border */
border-bottom: 3px solid #666;
border-radius: 2px;
}
.button:hover {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 100px 100px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1); /* light overlay */
}
.button:active {
border-top-width: 2px; /* add this so it gets 'pushed down' */
border-bottom-width: 1px;
}
.button a {
color: #fff;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2rem;
}
/* Second button */
.button-link {
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2rem;
background-color: #888;
border-top: 0px solid #fff; /*define the color of the upper border */
border-bottom: 3px solid #666;
border-radius: 2px;
}
.button-link:hover {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 100px 100px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1); /* light overlay */
}
.button-link:active {
