How to get hover message when mouse goes on a button.
Thanks
Use a title attribute.
<input type='button' value='Press me' title='This is my title' />
The attribute title matters here. Just add the title attribute and write the message to be given in button tag.
example :
<button title="Message needs to be shown">My button</button>
This should work fine. if you are using link for the button:
<button>My button</button>

I wanna switch this code:
Inapoi
With a button. I want a button who redirect to ”selectare_gen.php”
I tried:
<button onclick="location.href='selectare_gen.php'">Inapoi</button>
But all it does is refreshing the current page..
It should be
<button type="reset" onclick="location.href='selectare_gen.php'">
Inapoi
</button>
The type="reset" is a workaround to prevent the browser from interpreting the button as a form element which causes the reload.
Check this link over here. It should answer your question.
How to create an HTML button that acts like a link?
Many browsers think that the <button> tag will cause a submit that's why it's appearing to just refresh the page. If you use an input type="button" it wouldn't have this effect:
<input type="button" onclick="window.location='selectare_gen.php';" value="Inapoi" />
How to replace the submit button with a link without using javascript ? is there any way to add the submit attribute to a link ? because the form will not be sent by a simple link without "submit".
<form:form action="/getPage" >
<div class="buttons">
<a class="link" href="">
<img src="icon.png" />
</a>
</div>
</form:form>
I work in an application web so if i use javascript the link will not be mapped by the server ..
You can not submit a form using an <a> tag alone. You will need some type of javascript to assist, if you insist on using the <a> tag:
Submit the Form
or
Submit the Form
or super hack:
Submit the Form, then on backendPage.php you can use $_GET requests to process information, and redirect the visitor to the intended page. But that's a horrible idea haha
Try this:
CSS
button {
background:none!important;
border:none;
padding:0!important;
/*border is optional*/
border-bottom:1px solid #444;
}
HTML
<button>your button that looks like a link</button>
This can achieve the same effort and it looks like <a>
Note: btn btn-link comes from bootstrap
<button class="btn btn-link" type="submit"><img src="icon.png" /></button>
There is an another way out. Using this method you can use any element to submit a form.
Following is an example:
<span onclick="$('#submit').trigger('click')" style="cursor:pointer;">
anything
</span>
Add a hidden submit button:
<input style="display:none;" type="submit" id="submit"/>
This will behave exactly as actual submit button.
hello all a quick question..
i am building a static html page, and would like to like one page to another using a button, now using a link is the easier option but i would like the effect of a button without any javascript going off..
so i would like to use a input button but it to link to a html page like an tag can href.
i was thinking along the lines of this example but without the js..
<form>
<input type="button" value="Read more" class="button" onclick="window.location.href='testimonials.html'">
</form>
this doesnt work but i am looking for this functionality?? is it possible?
Just submit the form to the URL.
<form action="testimonials.html">
<input type="submit" value="Read more">
</form>
… but buttons are supposed to do stuff. Links go places. Don't send people mixed messages, use a link.
you've misspelled "onclick" :)
EDIT: if you want to avoid javascript, you can create a button-like link with CSS:
Read More
Try this code:
<form>
<input type="button" value="Read more" class="button" onlick="window.location='testimonials.html'">
</form>
I am doing the following:
<a href="www.stackoverflow.com">
<button disabled="disabled" >ABC</button>
</a>
This works good but I get a HTML5 validation error that says "Element 'button' must not be nested within element 'a button'.
Can anyone give me advice on what I should do?
No, it isn't valid HTML5 according to the HTML5 Spec Document from W3C:
Content model: Transparent, but there must be no interactive content descendant.
The a element may be wrapped around entire paragraphs, lists, tables, and so forth, even entire sections, so long as there is no interactive content within (e.g. buttons or other links).
In other words, you can nest any elements inside an <a> except the following:
<a>
<audio> (if the controls attribute is present)
<button>
<details>
<embed>
<iframe>
<img> (if the usemap attribute is present)
<input> (if the type attribute is not in the hidden state)
<keygen>
<label>
<menu> (if the type attribute is in the toolbar state)
<object> (if the usemap attribute is present)
<select>
<textarea>
<video> (if the controls attribute is present)
If you are trying to have a button that links to somewhere, wrap that button inside a <form> tag as such:
<form style="display: inline" action="http://example.com/" method="get">
<button>Visit Website</button>
</form>
However, if your <button> tag is styled using CSS and doesn't look like the system's widget... Do yourself a favor, create a new class for your <a> tag and style it the same way.
If you're using Bootstrap 3, this works quite well
Primary link
Link
I've just jumped into the same issue and I solved it substituting 'button' tag to 'span' tag. In my case I'm using bootstrap. This is how it looks like:
<a href="#register">
<span class="btn btn-default btn-lg">
Subscribe
</span>
</a>
No.
The following solution relies on JavaScript.
<button type="button" onclick="location.href='http://www.stackoverflow.com'">ABC</button>
If the button is to be placed inside an existing <form> with method="post", then ensure the button has the attribute type="button" otherwise the button will submit the POST operation. In this way you can have a <form> that contains a mixture of GET and POST operation buttons.
It would be really weird if that was valid, and I would expect it to be invalid. What should it mean to have one clickable element inside of another clickable element? Which is it -- a button, or a link?
These days even if the spec doesn't allow it, it "seems" to still work to embed the button within a <a href...><button ...></a> tag, FWIW...
Another option is to use the onclick attribute of the button:
<button disabled="disabled" onClick="location.href='www.stackoverflow.com'" >ABC</button>
This works, however, the user won't see the link displayed on hover as they would if it were inside the element.
You can add a class to the button and put some script redirecting it.
I do it this way:
<button class='buttonClass'>button name</button>
<script>
$(".buttonClass').click(function(){
window.location.href = "http://stackoverflow.com";
});
</script>
why not..you can also embeded picture on button as well
<FORM method = "POST" action = "https://stackoverflow.com">
<button type="submit" name="Submit">
<img src="img/Att_hack.png" alt="Text">
</button>
</FORM>
Explanation and working solution here:
Howto: div with onclick inside another div with onclick javascript
by executing this script in your inner click handler:
if (!e) var e = window.event;
e.cancelBubble = true;
if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
It is illegal in HTML5 to embed a button element inside a link.
Better to use CSS on the default and :active (pressed) states:
body{background-color:#F0F0F0} /* JUST TO MAKE THE BORDER STAND OUT */
a.Button{padding:.1em .4em;color:#0000D0;background-color:#E0E0E0;font:normal 80% sans-serif;font-weight:700;border:2px #606060 solid;text-decoration:none}
a.Button:not(:active){border-left-color:#FFFFFF;border-top-color:#FFFFFF}
a.Button:active{border-right-color:#FFFFFF;border-bottom-color:#FFFFFF}
<p><a class="Button" href="www.stackoverflow.com">Click me<a>
Use formaction attribute inside the button
PS! It only works if your button type="submit"
<button type="submit" formaction="www.youraddress.com">Submit</button>
Besides <input type="button" value="Click me" />, <input type="submit" value="Click me" />, <a>Click me</a>, is there another way that can make "Click me" clickable?
With Javascript and CSS, you can make almost everything click-able.
<img src="photo-thumbnail.jpg" onclick="popup_image('photo.jpg');" style="cursor:pointer;" alt="" />
Setting cursor:pointer will make an element look clickable.
But again, that will only work if Javascript is enabled.
You can use Javascript:
<span onclick="...">Eat me</a>
This of course only provides the reaction to the click, if you want to make it look clickable also you have to add some styling.
By clickable do you mean something other than that it causes JavaScript onClick events to fire? Any DOM component should do that. If you want to change the cursor to indicate that something will happen when text is clicked, you can do that with CSS.
