Thanks so much Holly ,

I think the span will work. its looking better now.  my button solution is
not ideal though... I am still on the fence as to what course of action I
will take.....

The design spec for all buttons have rounded corners and gradient fill.
three different colors, over a dozen text variations. how to accommodate
this ... from what I understand there are two preferrable methods.  using
button elements (  similar to my earlier post )  and using spans,  such as:

<a class="a-button" id="some-button" href="/my_button">
                    <span class="button-leftcap"/>
                    <span class="button-text">Upload</span>
                    <span class="button-rightcap"/>
                </a>

Spans involve less work with graphics editor, but it is alot of markup for a
single button no ?
