This is a really frustrating problem... I have made an HTML5 button styled with CSS3 - this button works (functionally) in I.E, but when I open my page in Firefox (v 16.0.2) the button does not work (e.g you can't click on it - it does nothing). What is even weirder is that I put a standard a href link just for testing (on the same page, beside the button), and I can't even click on that (e.g it does nothing). I have tested this page on two different machines in both I.E 9 and FireFox 16.0.2.
Here is the HTML code for my button:
<p><button type="button" onClick="location.href='index.php'" class="navigationButton">Back to World Map</button>
<!-- test link -->
<a href="index.php">home</a></p>
And the CSS:
.navigationButton {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 20px;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(
top,
#86eb86 0%,
#013006);
background: -webkit-gradient(
linear, left top, left bottom,
from(#86eb86),
to(#013006));
background: -ms-linear-gradient(#86eb86, #013006);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#86eb86, #013006);
background: linear-gradient(#86eb86, #013006);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#86eb86', endColorstr='#013006');
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
-webkit-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
border: 3px solid #171717;
-moz-box-shadow:
0px 1px 3px rgba(000,000,000,0.5),
inset 0px 0px 10px rgba(087,087,087,0.7);
-webkit-box-shadow:
0px 1px 3px rgba(000,000,000,0.5),
inset 0px 0px 10px rgba(087,087,087,0.7);
box-shadow:
0px 1px 3px rgba(000,000,000,0.5),
inset 0px 0px 10px rgba(087,087,087,0.7);
text-shadow:
0px -1px 0px rgba(000,000,000,0.4),
0px 1px 0px rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
If my implementation of this button works for anyone else (in both I.E and Firefox), please let me know - otherwise if I have done something wrong, also let me know with an explanation.
Cheers!
