I would like to know how I can create a custom HTML button which has a background Image and I can show a custom text over that image.
For example, I would like to show a submit button for which I have a background image for that button and the text "Submit" comes on top of that Image.
I tried this -
<input type="button" value="Submit" style="background-image: url(pages/images/ButtonBackground.png);">
However, it does not work properly. I just see the test submit and the button but the image does not show up.
I recommend that you use <button> instead of <input type='submit' /> or <input type='button' />. The reason is that you can embed HTML elements (nest elements) into the <button> element. This way, you can make a much more flexible button, which can be customized even more.
<button>
<span class='image'></span>
<span class='text'>Click Me!</span>
</button>
<input type="button" value="Submit" style="background: url(pages/images/ButtonBackground.png) no-repeat; width:px; height:px;">
you have to specify the width and height of the image so it covers your button and yes check the path of the image
this is exactly what I have in one of my css and usually what I do in this situation:
html
<input type="submit" value="" name="commit" id="message_submit" class="registerbtn"/>
css
.registerbtn{background:url(../images/btn_registro.jpg) no-repeat; width:98px; height:32px; border:none;}
The simplest way is probably to use a button element with a background. Use e.g. padding properties to make the button suitably large. It is a useful precaution to set a background color for the button, for use when the background image is not shown for some reason, using a color that has sufficient contrast with the text (so it should be similar in color usage to the background image). Example:
<button type=submit style="background: #ccc url(test.jpg); padding: 0.5em 1em">Go!</button>
Caveat: In old versions of IE, there are several bugs in the implementation of button elements. The bugs bite most seriously if a form has several submit buttons.
The reason for the failure when using an input type=submit element is that they are commonly implemented by browsers using built-in routines that are rather immune to CSS.
Here's how I created buttons with actual pics on them along with text. In CSS I put:
button {
display: inline-block;
height: 200px;
padding: 2px;
margin: 2px;
vertical-align: top;
width: 400px;
}
#alldogs-close-CSS {
background-image: url( All_dogs.jpg );
/*background-size: 100px 130px;*/
height: 150px;
width: 300px;
}
The button controls my height and width and #alldogs-close-CSS is the pic I wanted to show on the button.
In my Index.html page I just put:
<button id="alldogs-close-CSS">All Dogs</button>
Now the text isn't very pretty at the moment, but I haven't played with it yet. It does work, though.

I'm trying to use a custom image for a reset button on a form but can't get the default "Reset" text to disappear when I create a class and insert the background image. I'm using a table to create the form and here is the code for this part of the form:
<tr>
<td colspan=6>
<input type="reset" class=cancelButton>
</td>
</tr>
It seems pretty straight simeple and straight forward. Here is my CSS custom class code:
.cancelButton {
background-image: url(cancel.jpg);
width: 160px;
height: 35px;
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
This is what I get:
Any assistance would be appreciated. This is for an assignment so I can't take shortcuts.
Don't use background images to convey information. CSS is for presentation.
Use a regular image, and a button element instead of an input element (since a button element can contain the image).
<button type="reset"><img src="cancel.jpg" alt="Cancel"></button>
Add value="" to your input tag
<input type="reset" value="" class=cancelButton>
I'm not a programmer by trade, but I'm trying to turn a PNG file into a button in html but im having trouble getting the button to be flush with the png in a way that doesn't look bad. I've googled many solutions so far but either i don't have the understanding to implement the fixes or my problems isn't what i think it is.
<a href="file:///E:/eLibrary_Jamaica_2019/Please_Click_Me_For_eLibrary.html">
<button type="submit" style="height:80px; width:360px "><img src="../../Web/media/images/FULLLOGOENACTUS 2.png" width="360" height="80" alt="" padding-right="50px" syle="content-align:center"
alt="Submit">
</button>
</a>
This is what the current code produces.
You could add the following CSS to the code:
button {
padding: 0;
}
img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%
}
This fits the png within the button and removes the button padding (buttons have padding unless you remove it). You could also add this to your inline html:
<a href="file:///E:/eLibrary_Jamaica_2019/Please_Click_Me_For_eLibrary.html">
<button type="submit" style="height:80px; width:360px; padding: 0"><img src="../../Web/media/images/FULLLOGOENACTUS 2.png" width="360" height="80" alt="" padding-right="50px" syle="content-align:center; width: 100%; height: 100%"
alt="Submit">
</button>
</a>
Side note.. you shouldn't wrap buttons in a tags. this is bad for seo, accessibility, and many other things.. Just wrapping your image in an a tag and styling accordingly will do what you're looking for whilst being compliant. A button isn't needed unless you're trying to submit a form of some sort -- and even in that case, don't wrap the button in an a tag
Use a class on your button and style it from within the style sheet using background.
<input type="button" class="button" ...>
then in your style sheet
.button
{
background: url(path/to/img.png) no-repeat ...;
cursor: pointer;
....
}
It is just always a good idea to separate your markup from your styles. I would also suggest that whatever the button actually does (unless it is just a link to something else), use javascript for that.
I am trying to make a button for a message system to show an orange dot if there's a new message. However, i can't quite get it working. Is it possible?
Here's the button
<input type="button" value="Messages •" />
And the button on jsFiddle if anyone feels like trying out :-)

Use a button element instead.
<button type="button">
Messages <span style="color: orange;">•</span>
</button>
Of course, don't add your stylings inline. I just did for this example's sake.
You could also add a class to the button such as new-messages and then do...
button.new-messages:after {
content: "•";
color: orange;
}
Just keep in mind the latter won't work in older IEs.
Use <button> instead of <input> since it has child elements which you can style.
To add an orange dot to your button, I would recommend using a background-image. This will give you the ability to design the dot however you wish, and not be constrained by font types.
It's also better for accessibility if the orange dot is added as a background image, as this is not content.
<input type="button" value="Messages" class="newmessage" />
.newmessage
{
background-image:url('http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/9611/orangedot.jpg');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:right center;
padding:5px;
padding-right:25px;
}

As per the question heading, the following will help to add multiple styles in a single style tag
<button type="button" style= "margin-top : 20px; border-radius: 15px"
class="btn btn-primary">View Full Profile
</button>
I have this plain submit button appearance in my html code
<input type="submit" name="pay now" value="pay" />
I wish to make the submit button look like this
<img src="images/shopping-cart/check-out-btn.png" border="0" />
but should stick with its submit type
how to do that ?
You should use CSS for that:
input[type="submit"] {
background: url(images/shopping-cart/check-out-btn.png);
width: 200px; /* width of image */
height: 50px; /* height of image */
border: 0;
}
You should probably use a more specific selector though.
A nice way to do this is using the button element.
<button type="submit"><img src="images/shopping-cart/check-out-btn.png" border="0" /></button>
It works just like a regular input with type=submit, but you have much more freedom.
You can make an image into a submit button by setting the type attribute of the input element to image:
<input type="image" src="/path/to/image.png">
For more information, read the image Button State section of the HTML specification.
I'm trying to display a png image on a <button> element in HTML.
The button is the same size as the image, and the image is shown but for some reason not in the center - so it's impossible to see it all.
In other words it seems like the top right corner of the image is located at the center of the button and not at the top right corner of the button.
This is the HTML code:
<button id="close" class="closing" onClick="javascript:close_clip()"><img src="icons/close.png" /></button>
Update:
What actually happens, I think, is a margin problem. I get a two pixel margin, so the background image is going out of the button. The button and the image are the same size, which is only 20px, so it's very noticable... I tried margin:0, padding:0, but it didn't help...
You could use input type image.
<input type="image" src="http://example.com/path/to/image.png" />
It works as a button and can have the event handlers attached to it.
Alternatively, you can use css to style your button with a background image, and set the borders, margins and the like appropriately.
<button style="background: url(myimage.png)" ... />
If the image is a piece of semantic data (like a profile picture, for example), then use an <img> element inside your <button> and use CSS to resize the <img>. If the image is just a way to make a button visually pleasing, use CSS background-image to style the <button> (and don't use an <img>).
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ThinkingStiff/V5Xqr/
HTML:
<button id="close-image"><img src="http://thinkingstiff.com/images/matt.jpg"></button>
<button id="close-CSS"></button>
CSS:
button {
display: inline-block;
height: 134px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
vertical-align: top;
width: 104px;
}
#close-image img {
display: block;
height: 130px;
width: 100px;
}
#close-CSS {
background-image: url( 'http://thinkingstiff.com/images/matt.jpg' );
background-size: 100px 130px;
height: 134px;
width: 104px;
}
Output:
The simplest way to put an image into a button:
<button onclick="myFunction()"><img src="your image path here.png"></button>
This will automatically resize the button to the size of the image.
try this
<input type="button" style="background-image:url('your_url')"/>
Why don't you use an image with an onclick attribute?
For example:
<script>
function myfunction() {
}
</script>
<img src='Myimg.jpg' onclick='myfunction()'>
Add new folder with name of Images in your project. Put some images into Images folder. Then it will work fine.
<input type="image" src="~/Images/Desert.jpg" alt="Submit" width="48" height="48">
The topic is 'Embed image in a button element', and the question using plain HTML. I do this using the span tag in the same way that glyphicons are used in bootstrap. My image is 16 x 16px and can be any format.
Here's the plain HTML that answers the question:
<button type="button"><span><img src="images/xxx.png" /></span> Click Me</button>
Try like this format and use "width" attribute to manage the image size, it is simple. JavaScript can be implemented in element too.
<button><img src=""></button>
General Answer:
<button style="background: url('icons/close.png'); background-size:cover"></button>
Since currently selected answer has some issues, posting this answer to save people trouble.
Make sure to give your button the width/height necessary to see your image as well as possible adding a "background-position" attribute to make your image show up as intended.
REACT VERSION:
<button style={{backgroundImage: "url('icons/close.png')"}}></button>
To use Image as button create a button download button image and than open it in paint and note down the top left and right bottom coordinates
`<Img src =" button.jpg" usemap=" #button" >.
<map name = " # button " >.
<area shape ="rect" coords = " Top- left , bottom right "
href = " page you want to open by button" > `
You can use multiple< area> tag to create different button from just one image .
Note : There is one issue with this method that if you try to change the height and width of the image the pixels shift and your button won't work
For that change the button image size externally by photoshop or any other photo editor
That's it you have created your button without java script and with few lines of code
Buttons don't directly support images. Moreover the way you're doing is for links ()
Images are added over buttons using the BACKGROUND-IMAGE property in style
you can also specify the repeats and other properties using tag
For example: a basic image added to a button would have this code:
<button style="background-image:url(myImage.png)">
