Let's see... that's a linear gradient from white to gray to white. Then you have the outter stroke of 1 pxl. point. The there's an obvious inner glow on the outter button, using the matching gray. Now for the small box the same the steps applied minus it looks like NO inner glow. Then for the grapahic you used a really nice orange color with a white or the stock light yellow outter glow. Lookin' good.

I tried using buttons in some of my designs, but they no longer worked once the job went to press! Go figure!

Are you serious? Come on, they're that bad? I do agree with morea that they may need more cowbell but other than that maybe the spelling is a little off.

I would but I already flattened it and cannot recreate such a master piece the same way again. This took me like 4 months to do and I can't remember all the effects I used. :(

Seriously, the creation of those web buttons is nothing different that following any tutorial on how to make "liquid buttons." Just follow the steps and your done. A monkey could do that.

Hey 13YrGuru, back in my day we had to make the buttons from stone and instead of using html, we had to use a programming language called Cuneiform. Here's a button I found laying under my old Victrola grammophone in my basement. We sure have come a long way since those days.

Right Morea, and learning at a young age is also great because kids brains are like clay and it makes them much easier to mold.
