It’s always nice when a website looks good consistently across all browsers and OS. One problem is that buttons (input type=”button”) are rendered native to the OS so a site that uses normal buttons in IE7 on Vista looks great, but when viewed in IE6 on Windows XP, they look drab and bland … definitely not what you intended for you look-and-feel.
A good solution is to style anchor tags to look and feel like a button. An awesome example can be found at Oscar Alexander’s blog, using CSS techniques to alter the background images. It’s well worth a look.
