problem with showing standard HTML-buttons

Hi,
today I got a problem with buttons in HTML-formulars in the MS IE 7. The
problem always occurs if the width of a standard button pass over an amount
of say 200px. Then it begins to look ugly especially at the left and right
border, such as it would be a scaled background image, that doesn't base on
vectorsgraphics. The problem is more obvious if the button has a width of
1000px.
Is that a known problem, that is planned to be solved?
By the way sorry for my poor English.
Greets,
Philipp Schulz

Hi Philipp,

Can you provide a sample page?

Guess - Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab - uncheck "Enable visual styles
on buttons and controls in webpages"

There have been previous reports of oversized buttons appearing ugly.

Regards.

Hi Phillip,

I could not reproduce the issue on my test page in IE8.

However I can reproduce it using IE6 and IE7. Unchecking "Enable visual
styles on buttons and controls in webpages" fixes the problem though.

At a guess, I would think that you can get around the problem by specifying
a border rule for your <input type="button" elements. But it looks like it
has been fixed in the next IE version.

Regards.

Hi again,
thank you for your fast answer. Unfortunately the IE visitors of my website
won't have this option unchecked I supposed and even if it has a very old
looking appearance. However I can fix the problem with some CSS-rules and
hope that IE 8 will have it fixed.
good night from germany
Philipp
