I have an input type=button with a background color set and a different one on :hover - see http://jsfiddle.net/hc2Eu/3/
In IE (all versions) - when I mouse down on the button, move off the button, then mouseup - the background color stays in the :hover setting until you mouse over it again.
Is there some workaround for this? Preferably not with js? (IE6 not necessary)
There might be a fix to <input type="button"> - but if there is, I don't know it.
Otherwise, a good option seems to be to replace it with a carefully styled a element.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/Uka5v/
.button {
background-color: #E3E1B8;
padding: 2px 4px;
font: 13px sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
border: 1px solid #000;
border-color: #aaa #444 #444 #aaa;
color: #000
}
Upsides include that the a element will style consistently between different (older) versions of Internet Explorer without any extra work, and I think my link looks nicer than that button :)
Try using the type attribute selector to find buttons (maybe this'll fix it too):
input[type=button]
{
background-color: #E3E1B8;
}
input[type=button]:hover
{
background-color: #46000D
}
You need to make sure images come first and put in a comma after the background image call. then it actually does work:
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px #82d4fe; /* Old browsers */
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px, -moz-linear-gradient(top, #82d4fe 0%, #1db2ff 78%) ; /* FF3.6+ */
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px, -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#82d4fe), color-stop(78%,#1db2ff)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px, -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #82d4fe 0%,#1db2ff 78%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px, -o-linear-gradient(top, #82d4fe 0%,#1db2ff 78%); /* Opera11.10+ */
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px, -ms-linear-gradient(top, #82d4fe 0%,#1db2ff 78%); /* IE10+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#82d4fe', endColorstr='#1db2ff',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
background:url(egg.png) no-repeat 70px 2px, linear-gradient(top, #82d4fe 0%,#1db2ff 78%); /* W3C */
