With all the talk of CSS3 at the moment, its easy to overlook the impact Javascript, especially jQuery, can have on the appearance of the basic web button. As such, we have collected 20 useful CSS buttons techniques that have all been improved and enhanced by the sooper-dooper power of jQuery.

In May last year we published an article entitled 22 CSS Button Styling Tutorials and Techniques, it proved to be pretty popular, and the most amazing thing about that post is that none of the tutorials even touch on the subject of CSS3.. What a difference a year makes!
Of course CSS3 never rolled out last year, it has been around for a long time without ever entering mainstream web design. That was until last year when support arrived from the web browsers Safari, followed by Firefox and then Chrome. And CSS3 has been gaining momentum ever since.

Once upon a time when a web design required a nice, functional and scalable button it would have had to have been firstly designed in Photoshop, implemented with the sliding doors technique, and you may have had to spice things up with a little javascript. With CSS3 everything is changing – everything is easier and certainly better.

As well as button tutorials and techniques we have also showcased some CSS3 tools and generators, you will find these at the bottom of the post.
