Square cornered Round buttons

[NewProgramer]

Hello all
Ok I am having problems with my buttons. What I am trying to make is a round button with the words Buy Now across it on a tan colord background. I used a button maker to do this but it didn't turn out right. I haven't put the image on my web page yet so i created a seperate one here: http://www.lomahacres.com/brokenbutton.html

not sure if that link will work but for some reason i got white corners on my round button! on the button maker site there was an option to add a "background color" i changed this to the color of my site (cccc99) and got a really dark tan. I can't seem to match my background color to any colors on the site manually. Help Please am i doomed to square cornered buttons forever???????? Did i mess it up or is it a problem with the button maker site??
could sombody give me a link to a site that does work? or is there a completely better way to make buttons?? I am New to HTML so try to make it simple please.
The button maker site is here: http://www.grsites.com/generate/generator/2001/

Thanks a lot guys i appreciate it

Hi All
ok I am having a problem with round buttons. I have the button on a seperate page right not until I can get it working. here is the button: http://www.lomahacres.com/brokenbutton.html not sure if that URL came up but my button is rouund with white corners on a tan background. I used this button maker http://www.grsites.com/generate/generator/2001/. There is an option for a "background color" which changes the colors of the corners from white. However when i put in my background color (#cccc99) it ends up being a much darker tan! I am completely stumped with this. Did I do something wrong or is it a problem with the button maker? Is there a better button maker to use or maybe a completely different way to make round buttons?? I am new to HTML so please help and make it easy to understand :o

Any help is much appreciated Thanks

Choose "transparent" for your background color and choose either gif or png as the format... just play with all the rest until you get what you like.
I used to offer a similar "generator" on an old site... they work well within reason but no, they are not the perfect solution to making your "buttons".

It's always best to use "text links" but if you want to use image buttons you have more options if you so your own graphics work using Gimp or some other image manipulation program. That being said, a blank image button can be used as the background of the element where your link lives (div, li, etc.) or as the background of the <a> tag itself. Lots can be done with css.
