CSS3 buttons

Some interesting examples of how CSS3 could be used to create nicer looking (possibly more cross-OS consistent?) buttons. Firstly this blog goes into some detail about the process and then the idea is also taken up and  simplified by others. I think the best part about this is it shows how CSS3, far from being about whacking huge drop-shadows, skews and roundy edges on everything you possibly can,  does provide useful tools which can give designers a great deal more control over important interface elements. Particularly with buttons such as this it’s useful not always to have to rely on images.
