Hi,
I am trying to allow my buttons/link to cater for different text length.
I have created button images wider than they need to be and currently the images gets cut off on the right hand side.
Is there a way of attaching the right hand side button images to this so that the button does not appear cut off?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css"> 
 
a.main_menu, a.main_menu:visited, div.main_menu{
	display: block;
	height: 40px;
	line-height: 35px;
	color: #666;
	width: auto;
	text-align: left;
	font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: normal;
	text-decoration: none;
	padding-left: 15px;
	padding-right: 15px;
	background-image: url(/images/test_button.png);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	margin-right: 1px;
	border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
}

a.main_menu:hover{
	background-image: url(/images/test_button_ovr.png);
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	color: #000;
}
