Reusable Imageless Google Custom Buttons

Until some future version of HTML gives us new native controls to use in a browser, at Google, they have been playing and experimenting with controls they call “Custom Buttons” in their apps (among other custom controls). These buttons just launched in Gmail and Google Reader recently.

The buttons are designed to look very similar to basic HTML input buttons. But they can handle multiple interactions with one basic design. The buttons we’re using are imageless, and they’re created entirely using HTML and CSS, plus some JavaScript to manage the behavior. They’re also easily skinnable with a few lines of CSS, which was a key factor now that Gmail has themes.
