Dont double post!

 

Are you talking about submit buttons?, or are you just trying to create a button from a link?

 

 

In the last case, you could either use an image as link. Like this:

<a href="http://www.brugbart.com/"><img src="image.jpg"></a>

To create a hover effect, by shifting the image with another image.

a.octagon {
  width: 60px;
  height: 120px;
  display: block;
}
a:link { background: url("image.jpg"); }
a:visited { background: url("image.jpg"); }
a:active { background: url("image.jpg"); }
a:hover { background: url("image2.jpg"); }

 

The trick would be to use a transparent gif or png, to create the shape you want.

I would think to just use an image. Seems a lot easier then what you are trying to accomplish.
