Hi sorry for posting it in the wrong place before as soon as Joker told me I did it wrong I did this one.

I wanted to sort it out so it will work as a widget.


This link if my forum link  http://flying-aces.pro-forums.co.uk/  I have it under the Count down widget.
You will see it says "cut outs for you to use" the link works but that's all.


This is the link to the website so you can see how it should look and work.

Thanks an all the best maxham.

Hello,

If you have permission to do so, you'll need to go into the other forums Admin Panel and find the CSS used to style it.

ex :

Code:

.holobtn

That is one of the classes used to style the button. If that CSS is not present in your other forums style sheet then that style will not apply.

Of course you can use that class on any forum.

But if you declare class holobtn in your html code, you need to style it. Without style class is completely useless.

Same comment for classes : holobtn-top, holobtn-bottom, abs-overlay and trans-02s.

Button is not a picture but only css codes. Without any css your button is a single text.

Oh ok I think I understand now, for it to work I don't just need the code I pasted on here I also need another code in my css stylesheet an that is why I only get the text with the link in it but no cool looking
button lol thanks for your help and advice I am really grateful I'm learning a lot.

Here is an example of using CSS to style your button with the class "holobtn"

You can add it to your style sheet here :
Administration panel > display > colors > CSS stylesheet

paste the code below and submit

Code:

.holobtn {
    display:block;
    margin:3px;
    padding:12px 3px;
    background:#009;
    border-radius:3pc 0;
    border:1px solid #00F;
    color:#0AC !important;
    font-size:12px;
    text-align:center;
    text-decoration:none;
}

.holobtn:hover { background:#00C; }

It isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I thought I'd give you an example so you know how it works.
