Here's a quick hack to get yourself one of those Stack Overflow like keyboard buttons. For those of you who don't know what these are, have a look here. I am writing this blog post while I wait for the India Australia cricket match to begin which is in a few minutes from now, so I'll be quick :).
To add these cool looking keys in your post, just write them in <kbd>...</kbd>
tags. Simple, right? Not quite. We’re not done yet. We need to do just one more thing. Add the following in your stylesheet:
And we are done. Give it a try. These look wonderful to me. Here's an example: Ctrl + D
kbd {
padding: 2px 4px;
white-space: nowrap;
color: black;
background: #EEE;
border-width: 1px 3px 3px 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #CCC #AAA #888 #BBB;
}
Here's a small keyboard built using these buttons :)
