The button I want:

http://i.stack.imgur.com/A2Qv4.png (I don't have enough reputation to post images)

I have tried this, but it doesn't work:

button {
    font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
    font-size: 1em;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
    border: 3px double #f26700;
    background: #f26700;
}

How can i display this white line with CSS?

Solution 1:[1]

as commented, 2 easy options : box-shadow and outline:

button {
  font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
  font-size: 1em;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: white;
  border: 1px solid white;
  background: #f26700;
  outline:solid #f26700 1px;
  padding:0.25em 1em;
}
button + button {
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px #f26700;
  outline:none;
}

Use the outline property:

CSS

.button {
    font-family:'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
    font-size: 1em;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
    line-height: 1.8em;
    border: 1px solid white;
    background: #f26700;
    width: 100px;
    height: 30px;
    text-align: center;
    outline: 1px solid #f26700;
}

You can do this just with an outline.

button {
    width: 8rem;
    font-size: 1rem;
    line-height: 2.4rem;
    color: white;
    background: darkorange;
    border: none;
    outline: .1rem solid white;
    outline-offset: -.3rem;
}
