Buttons
Use Bootstrap’s custom button styles for actions in forms, dialogs, and more with support for multiple sizes, states, and more. Read the Official Bootstrap Documentation for a full list of instructions and other options.
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.
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.
