I have a submit button which is simply marked up as this:
<input type='submit' name='foo' value='Continue ⇢' class='button' />
I would like to make the rightward dotted arrow a tad larger.
<input type='submit' name='foo' value='Continue <span class='makemeatadlarger'>⇢</span>' class='button' />
is obviously not working... Is there a simple way to do this (I am not interested in adding tons of outher divs/spans and preferable without having to use images)
UPDATE
Inspired by accepted answer below I came up with this:
html
<button type='submit' name='foo' value='Continue' class='button'>Continue</button>
css
.button:after {
content: ' ⇢';
font-size: 220%;
height: 26px;
margin-top: -19px;
float: right;
}
example
And heres a live example over at jsfiddle
I don't believe so because taking the span out takes it out of the button. The best way would be a button instead of an input like so: <button type="submit" name="foo" class="button">Continue <span class='makemeatadlarger'>⇢</span></button>
You must style the button text as a whole, not just a portion. To achieve your desired effect wouldn't it be much easier to create an image?

I have a web application in which i have these two submit button inside a table
<input type="submit" value="Modifier" name="btn" style="display:inline" />
<input type="submit" value="Exporter" name="btn" style="margin-left:10px ; display:inline" />
I'd like that it be displayed in the same line but i have this result:
Why this happens? how can i fix my code to show the buttons in the same line?
I'd stay away from this method of css personally, just my preference this will mean that every submit button is exactly the same but what if you don't want this styling with every submit button. But then again that method is much better than doing css inside a HTML file
input[type=submit]{
}
You're better off giving the submit buttons a class called submit then you can pick and choose which submits you want to do you're styling for
<input type="submit" class="submit">
.submit{
float: left;
etc.
}
The main problem is your table column widths perhaps give them all a class and give them a width and/or height that meets your needs inside an external css file.
you may try this styling;
input[type="submit"] {
float: right
}
you may also try float left.
Though you could increase the width of the table column or use display: inline-block, maybe you want to do something else:
Increaseing table/column width seems natural, as the two buttons look too wide to fit into that.
Once you have it, you may prefer to use something like block display with a float component.
The inline-block performs poorly in Internet Explorer browsers, even in recent versions like IE9, and a lot of your visitors will be using it for a while.
input[type=submit] {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 100px; /* or whatever fixed width you need */
}
You can try like this
Define a css rules for your submit buttons
input[type=submit] {
display: inline-block;
float: left; /* use this if you want them to be aligned other wise not */
width: as per needed
}
here is an example.. uses bootstrap though
http://jsfiddle.net/QYBHm/
<h3>
<input type="button" href="/users/sign_up">Sign up</input>
or
<input type="button" href="/users/sign_in">Sign in</input>
</h3>
Sign up
or
Sign in
Increase your column size if not auto and add float:left to "Exporter"
In your table row in column with the buttons try this code
<td nowrap="nowrap">
<input type="submit" value="Modifier" name="btn" style="display: inline" />
<input type="submit" value="Exporter" name="btn" style="margin-left: 10px;" />
</td>
I would say that the container column isn't wide enough, so even too they are inline they appear like this. Try changing the width of that column to check if that's the problem.
Try this css
input[type=submit] {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
width: /*adjust as per your table */;
}
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 :-)
http://jsfiddle.net/ePA47/1/
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>
Ive been trying to style a submit button using an image. I would use CSS but the button is too complex design wise. I have tried adding a background image to a button but the image was badly positioned. I have also tried using
<input type="image" src="myimage.png">
But alas this is not a submit button so It doesn't work. I have looked and tried everything I believe possible but can't find a solution to making the button submit the form. Thanks.
if <input type="image"> doesn't work as expected just try instead
<button type="submit"><img src="myimage.png"></button>
but as I wrote in the comment above your code should work fine too
You have different possibilities for a submit button:
<input type="image">
<input type="submit">
<button></button> <!-- no type needed, since submit is the default type -->
These are all submit buttons. Pick the one, which suits you best.
Now you can choose to put an image between the button or use background-images and position them properly.
Example for button with background-image:
button {
background:url(data:image/gif;base64,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) no-repeat 5px center;

}
<button type='submit'>Submit</button>
(Or as a fiddle)
Use a button element and style it with css. Don't omit the text, you form should be accessible without images or css.
<button type='submit'>Informative submit text</button>
button {
background-image:url('myimage.png');
}
In case someone needs a newer html5 good answer:
<button id='' name='' value='' ><img src='img.jpg' /></button>
<input type="image" src="myimage.png">
or
<input type="submit" style="background:url(myimage.png)">
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 have a button with long text like "Click here to start playing". I want to control the width and display the text in multiple lines. Is it possible in html/css?
Yes, you can have it on multiple lines using the white-space css property :)
input[type="submit"] {
white-space: normal;
width: 100px;
}
<input type="submit" value="Some long text that won't fit." />
add this to your element
white-space: normal;
width: 100px;
Here are two options:
<button>multiline<br>button<br>text</button>
or
<input type="button" value="Carriage
return
separators" style="text-align:center;">
This CSS might work for <input type="button" ..:
white-space: normal
Yes it is, and you can also use it like this
<button>Click here to<br/> start playing</button>
if you want to make the break yourself.
one other way to improve and style the multi-line text is
<button>Click here to<br/>
<span style="color:red;">start playing</span>
</button>
You can break a text using an entity in between the value. See the entity in example below:
<input style="width:100px;" type="button" value="Click here
to
start playing">
