SHARE:

New Look New Button, yes it's a Css3 Button which is Really awesome. css can be used to jazzup a plain looking link button but css3 3D button call to action into a 3D depressible button. as for our css3 button. It uses css2 pseudo element to add a lower 3D side shadow to the link transition and style with css3 to complete the look.
Overcome a severe limitation of mozilla firefox, google chrome and safari browsers at he the time of writing code not supporting css3 transitions on pseudo elements, i use the "inherit" technique, so the 3D buttom is animated when user click on the button.
