How to set the size of button in HTML

Question

I have some buttons on my pure HTML/JS page. When the page is opened in browser, the button size is normal. But on refresh/reloading page, the button size is reduced. In fact, I have not set the button text value. The button's text is blank. How should I set the size of my button in HTML irrespective to the size of the text?

Answer 1

Do you mean something like this?

HTML

<button class="test"></button>

CSS

.test{
    height:200px;
    width:200px;
}

If you want to use inline CSS instead of an external stylesheet, see this:

<button style="height:200px;width:200px"></button>

That isn't avoiding CSS, it's just using inline CSS instead of an external stylesheet. – Cavefish

Inline CSS solution was the one i was really looking. – Exequatur

The "avoid CSS" part still technically uses CSS. – Meda

Inline CSS more flexible with regards to possibly wanting different widths for different buttons. – Showy

I read that inline elements don't take width and height and to make them take height and width , we need to make the display as display: inline-block. But here width and height properties work perfectly without the display: inline-block. – Englis

This cannot be done with pure HTML/JS, you will need CSS

CSS:

button {
     width: 100%;
     height: 100%;
}

Substitute 100% with required size

This can be done in many ways

Answer 4

If using the following HTML:

<button id="submit-button"></button>

Style can be applied through JS using the style object available on an HTMLElement.

To set height and width to 200px of the above example button, this would be the JS:

var myButton = document.getElementById('submit-button');
myButton.style.height = '200px';
myButton.style.width= '200px';

I believe with this method, you are not directly writing CSS (inline or external), but using JavaScript to programmatically alter CSS Declarations.

If you want to use inline CSS instead of an external stylesheet,and have text, see this Example:

<button style="height:200px;width:200px">your text here</button>```
