Is it possible to make such buttons (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6452/buttonslw9.jpg) using CSS? It should be Menu, and PHP would just feed the text to html/css and css should take care of the design.
Maybe I want too much out of CSS – especially with that red outline of the text.. ? Any ideas how i can achieve such results without doing those buttons manually in Graphical Editor?
‘Pure’ solution is possible in latest Safari with
text-shadow,-webkit-text-strokeand-webkit-gradientproperties (explained in Safari blog).You could also use SVG + CSS
background-imagein Opera 9.5 and Safari.A practical solution that works in more than a couple of cutting-edge browsers is to generate images on the server side with GD library.
