I've been using the jQuery UI button all over my page, however I haven't found a way around what seems to be a simple problem. I want some of my buttons to be smaller than the other, this should be as simple as setting the CSS of the button text to something like, `font: .8em;` However jQuery UI takes your DOM element and wraps it:

```
<button class="ui-button ui-button-text-only ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all">
   <span class="ui-button-text">Button Label</span>
</button>

```

So if I have a `<button class="small-button">Small button!</button>` jQuery will place the text in a child span. Any font size given to the `small-button` class will be ignored.

There's got to be a way around this without hacking at how jQuery makes its buttons. Any ideas?
