I got an image from the tutorial i wrote previous and wanted to do some simple stuff like adding it to a link so i did the following css code:
a.button {
display: block; /* this make it possible to hook the image to the link */
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url(mybutton.png); /*set the button image */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /*set it once only */
width: 150px; /*width of the image*/
height: 65px; /*height of the image*/
margin: 5px auto; /*align the text to center with top and bottom 5px margin*/
padding: 15px 0 0 0; /*add a padding of 15px to the top*/
text-align: center; /*this is required to make it align to center but we usually place this on the body instead*/
font-family: Myriad Pro, Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;/*font of the image*/
font-size: 100%; /*font size*/
color: #FFF; /*font color*/
font-weight: bold; /*font style*/
text-decoration: none; /*remove the link decoration*/
}
The code is well commented for understanding and you can find the sample code from here here. You will get something like this in HTML,
