I'm not sure if these made it to the fluid-work list, so I'm forwarding it along just in case.

With the attached images you can see the fundamental differences. Please bear in mind this is a bare bones approach with no effort to make the basic button more attractive.

+1 for documenting all these discrepencies in one place.

The FSS CSS would normalize the appearance of the button everywhere in thedocument, not just UI Options..

Im prepping screenshots right now....

I'm assuming that this solution would only solve the problem for the button in the component, and that the other buttons the integrator puts on the page would still suffer from this issue.

In that case, would it be confusing to the integrator why it works in some places and not in others? If this is a problem with the browser, it may be a good idea to document the issue.

In general, it may be helpful to have a section on the wiki or build site that demonstrates all of the 3rd party issues that we have encountered and are reliant on someone else to fix. (i.e. browser specific issues that don't have a work around) This would also provide us with a point of reference to determine if new browser versions solve these issues.

Do you think it's acceptable to squash the native appearance of a form control in order to force it to accomodate other settings? Is it more user-friendly for the font size to render properly or for the form control to look like a native control?

Hm... This is an interesting question.

First, I think a screen shot or two might help convey just what the button looks like when you do and don't do your proposed solution.

My reaction is: I would think it would be better to sacrifice the native appearance in favor of a 'properly functioning' button.
