Green, blue, red, gray, black

We can use :hover selector to modify the style that hovers over the button.

Tip: We can use transition-duration to set the speed of the "hover" effect:

CSS instance

.button {
-webkit-transition-duration: 0.4s; /* Safari */
transition-duration: 0.4s;
}

.button:hover {

Button shadow

Shadows appear when the shadow button is hovered over

We can use box-shadow property to cast a shadow on the button:

CSS instance

.button1 {
box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2), 0 6px 20px 0rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
}

.button2:hover {
box-shadow: 0 12px16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.24), 0 17px 50px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
}

Try it out . . .

Disable the button

The normal button disables the button

We can use opacity to add transparency to the button (looks like the "disabled" property effect).

Tip: We can cursor property and set it to "not-allowed" to set a disabled picture:

CSS instance

.disabled {
opacity: 0.6;
cursor: not-allowed;
}

The width of the button

250px
50%100%

By default, the size of the button is determined by the text content on the button (matching length based on the text content). We can use width property to set the width of the button:

Tip: If you want to set a fixed width, you can use pixels (px), and if you want to set a responsive button, you can set it to a percentage.

CSS instance

.button1 {width: 250px;}
.button2 {width: 50%;}
.button3 {width:100%;}
