Hi guys,
I need help to align CSS buttons. I tried many different variations and I just cannot center my
button the way I want.
Firstly, have a look at this url: http://www.front-end-developer.net/cssbuttons/example.htm
I'm using 2 images to form a
button (this could be done on 1 image, but in this case we've got two). Everything works as expected as long as we apply float:left or float:right to the parent div element, to 'limit' width of the div and close it as soon as the content of the div ends. You can remove float:left from the
button to see what I mean.
But what about center positioned buttons? I cannot add float:left/right because I want align it in the middle.
In theory, I could set
{
width:XXpx;
margin:0 auto;
}
And I will get what you can see on this picture:
But I don't know the length of the text inside. Having different translations my
button can be very short, or 5 times that long.
I also tried to use <span> instead of <div>, but unfortunately nested inline elements don't respect their padding correctly...
And yes, I must use <a> inside, so buttons can be accessed by web crawlers.
I'm really stuck on this one.
