Button

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".

You can find the full examples of usage at Font Awesome - Font Awesome 4.0.3

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]
