Minimal bootstrap css for buttons

Question

I'm building a JSP component (jsp-tag), which should have a bootstrap look, because we use Bootstrap on some, not all pages. My component needs only 3 bootstrap classes for buttons (CSS classes .btn, .btn-success, .btn-error), nothing else.

I would like to have that JSP component as self-contained as possible, so I don't want to add the 100+KB bootstrap.css within my component, but only a minimal CSS. And another reason not to include the big bootstrap.css: I don't want to change (=destroy) current pages with bootstrap styles.

Can I extract easily the styling for Bootstrap buttons somehow?

I copied and pasted the bootstrap stylings from my Firebug, which works well on modern browsers (IE9+, FF, Chrome), but not on IE8. So IE8 uses some CSS stylings that I could not reliably find out.

You can create a custom bootstrap build for yourself via the bootstrap website.

Here's the link.

Just select the components you want and download the generated css file.
