How TO - Text Buttons
Learn how to style text buttons with CSS.
How To Style Text Buttons
Step 1) Add HTML:
Example
<button class="btn success">Success</button>
<button class="btn
info">Info</button>
<button class="btn warning">Warning</button>
<button
class="btn danger">Danger</button>
<button class="btn
default">Default</button>
Step 2) Add CSS:
To get the "text button" look, we remove the default background color and border:
Example
.btn {
border: none;
background-color: inherit;
padding: 14px 28px;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
}
/* On mouse-over */
.btn:hover
{background: #eee;}
.success {color: green;}
.info {color:
dodgerblue;}
.warning {color: orange;}
.danger {color: red;}
.default {color: black;}
