CSS buttons v2.x

[chadderuski]

Hi again, I've got this to work for the most part. (Although the buttons still need some alignment.)
In my css_buttons.php file, I made this change...

Australican:

I do not want to hijack Paul's support thread! Sorry Paul!

But I have fully functional 2 and 3 state CSS buttons using the sliding door method as mentioned above. Also working here:
http://www.royalindustriesinc.com

I did this with a minimal amount of core changes - actually just one function replacement if I remember correctly, and a couple edits.
The real work was in the button creation and css markup. I can send you my sample buttons, css files, and <few> core mods.

Send me a PM...

Hope someone is monitoring this thread..I have an ongoing issue that I hoped css_buttons_v2.64 would solve:

This in both zencart 1.3.8 and 1.3.9h

First, my goal is use my custom image buttons with easy_rollovers, but that mod does not allow the form buttons to be replaced with my image buttons or to roll.

css_buttons_v2.64 does allow the replacement of the form buttons with my custom image buttons, but not implement the roll effect.

So, i re-installed easy_rollovers and am back to the original problem of form or input buttons not rolling however they are being replaced with my custom image buttons properly thanks to css_buttons_v2.64

My dilemma:

1.I either need to learn how to get image buttons to roll in css_buttons_v2.64 or
2. or figure out how to modify the css_buttons_style to have those input image buttons unaffected by easy_rollovers to use my rollover function as happens with the other buttons. I have two button images for each button as required by easy_rolloevers.

This is demonstrated on this page: GeoOdyssey Publications - Sitemap

Notice the "search" button vs the back "button."

Thank you for any help.

I also lost my image buttons when i uninstalled and ran again the sql file.

I think the first time i ran it it did not take...but now my images are gone!

It looks like you have done it. Congratulations.

Thanks sawhorse....actually, i went back to the stock stylesheet_css_button.css and am using a background image with a bit of java that rounds corners using width:auto ....works great, (called curvycorners)

however, looks great in Firefox...it is all over the place in IE

I used a suggestion in another thread to add a style to the input image in functions/html_output.php

IE ignors this completely and only styles my buttons background on the non-submit links.

currently working to get ie to see my styles.

page seems to validate just fine.

Yes, when I looked at your page in FF it was fine, but when I looked at it in IE I got the following warning.

Sorry I can not help. I am a hunt, peck and hope programmer.

Best of luck.

just to report back, still working with the stock style sheet...did find a mod for IE problems that works when I start with zeroing out everything by setting global variables to none or zero. I think a lot of newzenners get distracted with the input button not obeying styles and i think the answers they get assume that the stock buttons styles sheet does not fulfill their needs. Not sure why the input button needs another class attached in html_output.php, but that is all that worked for me.

after a weeks adventure in button land....whew! I guess the zenteam did it right with just leaning how to work the style sheet for individual buttons styling and using background images for the roll over.

"chadderuski's" post above to his site was very helpful in getting my style sheet back under control.

Gotta love zencart....never knew I could be so tenacious about anything.

Could either chadderuski or yourself share your process etc.?
