Some button effects in guis are simply dynamic border changes for 
instance try
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
TD { border: 1px solid lightgrey; }
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT>
function buttonOn (el) {
  el.style.borderLeft = el.style.borderTop = '1px solid white';
  el.style.borderRight = el.style.borderBottom = '1px solid darkgray';
}
function buttonOff (el) {
  el.style.borderLeft = el.style.borderTop = '1px solid lightgrey';
  el.style.borderRight = el.style.borderBottom = '1px solid lightgrey';
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="lightgrey">
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD ONMOUSEOVER="buttonOn(this)"
    ONMOUSEOUT="buttonOff(this)"
>
a button
</TD>
<TD ONMOUSEOVER="buttonOn(this)"
    ONMOUSEOUT="buttonOff(this)"
>
a 2nd button
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
with IE4/5 or NN6 and you will have some button appearance similar to 
the IE toolbar buttons.
NN4 doesn't allow for dynamic border style changes so much work is 
needed to get a similar effect for NN4. The following code sets up a 
Border object which you can pass a layer to for which a border is set 
up using dynamically created layers. The Border object is generic and 
can be applied to every layer/positioned element in NN4. An example is 
provided. The Border object is then further used to attempt to 
implement some ButtonBorder similar to the effect above and to build 
two example buttons. The buttons are not very handy as the need 
absolute positioning but they work.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
.borderable { position: relative; }
.button { position: absolute; }
A.buttonLink { text-decoration: none; color: black; }
#buttonBar { 
  position: absolute; 
  width: 385px; height: 28px;
  clip: rect(0 385 28 0);
  left: 100px; top: 200px;
  layer-background-color: lightgrey;
}
#button1 { position: absolute; left: 103px; top: 203px; }
#button2 { position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 203px; }
