CSS Buttons

Basic Buttons

The normal dull looking HTML button can also be stylized using different CSS properties.

The example below will make you understand how to use these properties to the buttons:

Example Try this code »

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title> CSS Buttons </title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<style>
button {
background-color: #4CAF50;
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 15px 32px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
margin: 4px 2px;
cursor: pointer;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>CSS Buttons</h2>
<button>Default Button</button>
<a href="#" class="button">Link Button</a>
<button class="button">Button</button>
<input type="button" class="button" value="Input Button">
</body>
</html>

Output

CSS Buttons Link Button

You can use different properties to stylize the buttons:

Button Colors: background-color:color;
Button borders: border:style;
Button Coloured Borders: border: width style color;

Rounded Buttons

The button's vertices can be changed into rounded ones by using border-radius property. In this way you also can make a fully rounded button.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title> CSS Rounded Buttons </title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<style>
button {
background-color: green; /* Green */
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 15px 32px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
margin: 4px 2px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.blue-button {background-color: #008CBA;} /* Blue */
.red-button {background-color: #f44336;} /* Red */
.gray-button {background-color: gray;} /* Gray */
.black-button {background-color: black;} /* Black */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Button Colors</h2>

<button class="blue-button">Blue</button>
<button class="red-button">Red</button>
<button class="gray-button">Gray</button>
<button class="black-button">Black</button>
</body>
</html>

Hoverable Buttons

The :hover selector will give the hover effect to the button. It displays the specified changes to the button when the mouse cursor moves over it.

<html lang="en">

<title> CSS Hover Buttons </title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

transition-duration: 0.4s;
cursor: pointer;
}
