CSS Buttons

hi

im am trying to make a soccer stadium with a table and some buttons :

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css"
href="h:diverse/stadion.css" />
</head>

<body>
<br><br><br><br >
<form name="select_st adion">
<table border ="1">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type=submit value="" class="long"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
<input type=submit value="" class="short"></td>
<p></p>

<td align="center"> <input type=submit value="" class="field"></td>
<td></td>
<td ><input type=submit value="" class="short"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type=submit value="" class="long"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I am trying to adjust the buttons with css. I can set the width of the
button but not the length, what am i doing wrong ?

CSS :

..short{
background-color: brown;
color:brown;
length: 50;
width: 80;

}

..long{

background-color: brown;
width: 80;
length:130;
}

..field{

background-color: green;
length:120;
width: 80;
}

Generally speaking it is better to supply a URL rather than include a
listing of HTML/CSS, as that makes it easier to track down problems.
However in this case the following immediately leaps out:

- you haven't provided units for your measurements;
- length is not a CSS property;
- brown is not a standard colour keyword.
- having background-color and color the same is not generally very
useful.

Time to make friends with the CSS validator:

I have a page on CSS buttons that you may find helpful:

50 what? Miles? Light years? Nanometers? Non-zero lengths in CSS must
always have a unit.

There's no CSS property length.

True. This weekend I tried "brown" in a stylesheet, and Mozilla
rendered it just fine, roughly #963 I think. I bopped on over to the
W3C site to find the official definition of "brown", and was
surprised to see that it's not standard.

I've got used to Mozilla ignoring non-standard stuff, but this time
was different.

Some browsers support the X11 colors even though they are non-standard.
"brown" is in this group. One article on the subject:

Nice reference; thanks! I won't use the names, but it's a good
compendium of popular color choices and I can use the hex.

Doug Jacobson also has some useful color charts, at
