Displaying form buttons as text in safari

fluiduk · 24 Jan 2006 at 22:43

Hi All

Working on a website at the moment http://baby.fluidukproductions.co.uk/index.php

Its a site for a modelling agency, that calls the models from an sql database. The ways it coded means that each models name is a button. I have used a style that displays this button as text. Look at children.php for an example.
However for some reason safari doesnt like this stlye and shows them as buttons eek.

This is the style.

Code:

.button {
text-align:left;
background-color:transparent;
border:none;
color: #88785b;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
line-height: 14pt;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 0px; 
padding: 1px;
}

Anyone got any ideas how I can get round this as its looks well ugly!

Cheers
Aaron

As far as I know, you can't style buttons in safari. They want keep a nice standardised look to the whole GUI.

Couldn't you just use GET and have standard links or am I missing something here?

sadly not, its all been coded now. Thats well pooh! client aint gonna accept that I doubt!

Well if it's any consolation, it doesn't look all that bad and it's only going to affect us Safari users, most of whom are used to it.

Sorry to bump this... however as expected the client is not happy with *** button in safari. Does anyone know of any javascript ways of doing this?

just use normal links and use get variables instead, it's an hours work tops. and is guaranteed to work.
