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.
Ex: element icon="user" then name of icons is "fa-user".

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 size= large
, small
, or mini
for additional sizes.
[button type="primary" size="lg" target="_self" link="#"] Large button [/button] [button size="lg" target="_self" link="#"] Large button [/button] [button type="primary" target="_self" link="#"] Default button [/button] [button target="_self" link="#"] Default button [/button] [button type="primary" size="sm" target="_self" link="#"] Small button [/button] [button size="sm" target="_self" link="#"] Large Small [/button] [button type="primary" size="xs" target="_self" link="#"] Mini button [/button] [button size="xs" target="_self" link="#"] Mini button [/button]
Create block level buttons—those that span the full width of a parent— by adding .btn-block.
[button type="primary" size="lg" full="block"] Block level button [/button] [button size="lg" full="block"] Block level button [/button]
Disabled state
For disabled buttons, add the state=disabled
class to links and the disabled
attribute for <button>
elements.
[button type="primary" size="lg" state="disabled"] Primary button [/button] [button size="lg" state="disabled"] Button [/button]
