Buttons
Use Bootstrap’s custom button styles for actions in forms, dialogs, and more with support for multiple sizes, states, and more. Read the
Basic Examples
Bootstrap includes several predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose, with a few extras thrown in for more control.
Button tags
The .btn
classes are designed to be used with the <button>
element. However, you can also use these classes on <a>
or <input>
elements (though some browsers may apply a slightly different rendering).
Outline buttons
In need of a button, but not the hefty background colors they bring? Replace the default modifier classes with the .btn-outline-*
ones to remove all background images and colors on any button.
Sizes
Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-lg
or .btn-sm
for additional sizes.
Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent—by adding .btn-block
.
Active state
Buttons will appear pressed (with a darker background, darker border, and inset shadow) when active. There’s no need to add a class to <button>
s as they use a pseudo-class. However, you can still force the same active appearance with .active
(and include the aria-pressed="true"
attribute) should you need to replicate the state programmatically.
Disabled state
Make buttons look inactive by adding the disabled
boolean attribute to any <button>
element.
Disabled buttons using the <a>
element behave a bit different. <a>
s don’t support the disabled
attribute, so you must add the .disabled
class to make it visually appear disabled.
Icon buttons
Add class .btn-icon
for buttons with only icons
Button with text and icon
Wrap icon and text inside .btn-icon-text
and use .btn-icon-prepend
or .btn-icon-append
for icon tags
