Set Button Style

[RonAnderson]

Any suggestions would be really appreciated... I'm trying to format a "Logout" button to be the same style as  Please ignore the "Click here to use Low Cost"

The code I'm using does the job of logging out but the format is inconsistent with all the other buttons on the submission datapage.  Here's the logout button appearance

The code I'm using is:-

<button><a href="https://c7cmr949.caspio.com/folderlogout">Logout</a>
<style="background-color: #787A7C; /* Gray*/
  border: none;
  color: white;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 7px 75px;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 14px;
</style>
</button>

It's as if all of the style code is being ignored.

Cheers, Ron

Update: to get rid of !important property it is possible to add the ID for the link since ID selectors have the highest specificity.

For example:

<button class="btn-logout" type="button">
  <a id="link-logout" href="https://c7cmr949.caspio.com/folderlogout">Logout</a>
</button>

And styles:

<style>
.btn-logout {
  background-color: #787A7C; /* Gray*/
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 7px 75px;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
}

#link-logout,
#link-logout:hover {
  color: white;
  font-size: 14px ;
  text-decoration: none;
}
</style>

Hello @RonAnderson,

1) I would recommend you to add the type of the button: type="button" and a CSS class to style the button.

For example, this code can be added to the HTML block/Header/Footer depending on where you need to add a button:

<button class="btn-logout" type="button">
  <a href="https://c7cmr949.caspio.com/folderlogout">Logout</a>
</button>

2) Actually, you need to style a button and a link. A link has default styles on hover so we need to consider that too.

Please test these styles, and add them to the Header (disable the HTML editor before pasting)
 

<style>
.btn-logout {
  background-color: #787A7C; /* Gray*/
  border: none;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 7px 75px;
  text-align: center;
  display: inline-block;
}

.btn-logout a {
  color: white !important;
  font-size: 14px !important;
  text-decoration: none !important;
}

.btn-logout a:hover {
  color: white !important;
  font-size: 14px !important;
  text-decoration: none !important;
}
</style>

This is the button I can see as a result

Hi @CoopperBackpack, Thank you so much. My Java and CSS skills are rookie at best. I'd never have have solved this. Works great. Thanks again
