CSS3 buttons is a simple framework for creating good-looking GitHub style button links.

To create a button, the only thing you have to do is this:

<a href="#" class="button">This is a Button</a>

You can also use the button tag:

<button class="button">This is a Button</button>

If you prefer a pill-like button with more rounded corners, you can add a .pill class to the button

<a href="#" class="pill button">This is a Pill Button</a>

Sometimes when you have multiple buttons, it's a good thing to highlight the button with the primary action in order to give the user a visual clue of what action to take if in doubt. This can be accomplished by adding a .primary class to the button

<a href="#" class="primary button">Publish Post</a> or <a href="#"
class="button">Save as Draft</a>

If you have a button that triggers a negative action, like deleting data, it's good practice to warn the user by styling the button differently than the normal buttons. Give a button the class .negative and the hover-state will change to red

<a href="#" class="negative button">Divide by Zero</a>

If you have a button that triggers an action you want to encourage your users to do, you can give a button a .positive class and the hover-state will change to green

<a href="#" class="positive button">Save the World</a>

You can create grouped buttons that are linked together, like seen at Gmail and other places, by using the .left, .middle and .right classes:

<a href="#" class="left primary button">Archive</a> <a href="#"
class="middle button">Report Spam</a> <a href="#" class="right negative
button">Delete</a>

You can also add the pill class to grouped buttons if preferred:

<a href="#" class="left primary pill button">Archive</a> <a href="#"
class="middle pill button">Report Spam</a> <a href="#" class="right negative
pill button">Delete</a>

CSS3 Buttons supports a wide range of icons that can easily be added to any button by adding a span tag inside the anchor tag with the class of .icon and any one of the provided icon classes:) Search

Here is a list of all the supported icon classes:

• .book
• .calendar
• .chat
• .check
• .clock
• .cog
• .comment
