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 ?
