images for bottons

Featured Replies

Hi there,

 

someone told me that using images for bottons is a bad idea, why is that?

 

It works fine when I use "rollover images" and make them into links!

 

What is the best way to make links?

 

Regards, Nicklas!

I think using images for links is quite a good idea, the only bad side i can think of is if there big jpg buttons or if somebody has a slow internet connection.

It depends on the design really, if you think it will look good with roll over links, go for it!

Using images for links isnt to bad as long as you add ALT tags to make links visible when images are switched off.

 

Rollover images need to be done properly using CSS rather than javascript, again for accessibility and usability issues.

 

The best way to make links is usually CSS and HTML.

Using images for links isnt to bad as long as you add ALT tags to make links visible when images are switched off ...

... and title tags.

most of the time.....when you use image for the button.....it can't be crawled by google......

Okay,

 

can someone take a look at my site www.scandinavian-id.com and tell me how I can make exactly whan I have there, but without images? How do I make bottons with CSS?

 

 

Yeap. That should do it. Just take out the php echo link and add the normal "a href" code. And make sure your font family is a common system font which is probably the only disadvantage for not using image links.
