Stretching buttons in IE

Somehow I always avoided this problem side, and now I'm tired. The bottom line is that with a large size of a button, IE stretches its “loaf” turning it into some kind of terrible misery:



Especially pay attention to the charming artifacts of transparency in the corners.

What are the ways out of this situation?

Immediately make a reservation what behavior I would expect to see:



I looked for solutions in the internet, but from the options it’s suggested either replacing the button or its parts with pictures (but I want the interface to adjust to the browser and system style!) Or simply using CSS, turning the button into something like a rectangle with text ... Indeed, Ie, as soon as you change the style of the button at least a little, it immediately loses the style of the system design.

Made a page where you can visually see the dependence of the deformity on the size of the button (in IE).

I hope for adequacy of a habrasoobshchestvo. Is the donkey so stubborn?

Update:

All the same, you can! Thanks to CurlyBrace , kostos and telega2 for help in solving the issue!

Solutions:

1) The article The stretched buttons problem in IE with a detailed analysis of the problem and the following solution:

/ * IE stretched button bug workaround * /

input.button {
padding: 0. 25em;
width: 0; / * for IE only * /
overflow: visible;
}

input.button [class] {/ * IE ignores [class] * /
width: auto;
}

2) Option:

input {
padding: 0 5px;
width: auto;
overflow: visible;
}

It gives the opportunity to fit more text on the button due to the shortening of the length (my “Save and Continue” climbed, although a couple more letters and the button “floats” again)

3) The variant with a separate class, in principle, is similar to the previous one, but it can be used only if necessary, and not affecting all the options of the page.

.long_button {
width: auto;
overflow: visible;
padding: 0 .6em 0 .6em;
}

All methods give only a partial solution to the problem (after a certain length, the button again starts to “float”), but it is quite possible to fit a reasonable number of characters on the button.

Thanks for the help!
