As a convention, buttons should only be used for actions while hyperlinks are to be used for objects. For instance, "Download" should be a button while "recent activity" should be a link.
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.
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.
Fancy larger or smaller buttons? Add .btn-large
, .btn-small
, or .btn-mini
for two additional sizes.
