Buttons
Default buttons
Button styles can be applied to anything with the .btn
class applied. However, typically you’ll want to apply these to only <a>
and <button>
elements for the best rendering.
Button | class=»» | Description |
---|---|---|
btn |
Standard gray button with gradient | |
btn btn-primary |
Provides extra visual weight and identifies the primary action in a set of buttons | |
btn btn-info |
Used as an alternative to the default styles | |
btn btn-success |
Indicates a successful or positive action | |
btn btn-warning |
Indicates caution should be taken with this action | |
btn btn-danger |
Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action | |
btn btn-inverse |
Alternate dark gray button, not tied to a semantic action or use | |
btn btn-link |
Deemphasize a button by making it look like a link while maintaining button behavior |
Cross browser compatibility
IE9 doesn’t crop background gradients on rounded corners, so we remove it. Related, IE9 jankifies disabled button
elements, rendering text gray with a nasty text-shadow that we cannot fix.
Button sizes
Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-large
, .btn-small
, or .btn-mini
for additional sizes.
<p> <button class="btn btn-large btn-primary" type="button">Large button</button> <button class="btn btn-large" type="button">Large button</button> </p> <p> <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">Default button</button> <button class="btn" type="button">Default button</button> </p> <p> <button class="btn btn-small btn-primary" type="button">Small button</button> <button class="btn btn-small" type="button">Small button</button> </p> <p> <button class="btn btn-mini btn-primary" type="button">Mini button</button> <button class="btn btn-mini" type="button">Mini button</button> </p>
Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent— by adding .btn-block
.
<button class="btn btn-large btn-block btn-primary" type="button">Block level button</button> <button class="btn btn-large btn-block" type="button">Block level button</button>
Disabled state
Make buttons look unclickable by fading them back 50%.
Anchor element
Add the .disabled
class to <a>
buttons.
<a href="#" class="btn btn-large btn-primary disabled">Primary link</a> <a href="#" class="btn btn-large disabled">Link</a>
Heads up!
We use .disabled
as a utility class here, similar to the common .active
class, so no prefix is required. Also, this class is only for aesthetic; you must use custom JavaScript to disable links here.
Button element
Add the disabled
attribute to <button>
buttons.
<button type="button" class="btn btn-large btn-primary disabled" disabled="disabled">Primary button</button> <button type="button" class="btn btn-large" disabled>Button</button>
One class, multiple tags
Use the .btn
class on an <a>
, <button>
, or <input>
element.
<a class="btn" href="">Link</a> <button class="btn" type="submit">Button</button> <input class="btn" type="button" value="Input"> <input class="btn" type="submit" value="Submit">
As a best practice, try to match the element for your context to ensure matching cross-browser rendering. If you have an input
, use an <input type="submit">
for your button.
