RSS button - look Ma, no graphics!

Written by Richard MacManus / January 8, 2004 11:17 PM / 4 Comments

I've been meaning to add the orange RSS button back to my menu for a while. However I've been reluctant to upset my finely-tuned but fragile CSS/Radio Userland code synchronisation, by throwing a gauche graphic into the mix. But today I discovered a nice CSS method which solved the problem neatly - the sort of CSS you could take home to meet mother, very civilized and well-behaved. This was thanks to Don Park. Actually I used Richard Soderberg's code fragment, but I found it in Don's comments.

It's brilliant, now I have the familiar (to geeks anyway) orange RSS button - but there is no graphic! It's pure CSS baby.

  • It would have been enough to ask, Richard, and I'd have given you the snippet: the orange and blue rss+ent button on my site has been there for months, and is css-made and nicer than yours :-)))
    Jokes aside, these buttons have also one more advantage over graphical ones: they scale as you scale the page fonts! Isn't it nice?

  • Damn, I didn't realise you had those image-less buttons. If I'd have known, I would've asked :-)

  • ...and I forgot to say that my button is dedicated to those who think I'm against CSS because I use also tables ;-)

  • a politically-motivated button eh. Well that trumps my polite and civilized button :-)
