about buttons in HTML

[liunx]

hi everyone,<br />
<br />
havent been here in awhile but here i am again <br />
<br />
what i can't understand is something to do with buttons..<br />
<br />
i know how to make buttons (with the "<input..." tag)<br />
<br />
but i can't understand how to change its color scheme to what i want.. <br />
<br />
and also, i could see on some sites buttons that looks just like normal buttons but while you hover over them with your mouse they change color (and i checked it is a standard button and not a script or an applet)<br />
<br />
i really wanna know how i could do these things to buttons etc..<br />
<br />
any help will be appreciated!<br />
<br />
thanks alot for any input!<br />
<br />
