extra space on submit buttons

[gregaug]

hello,

I have a couple submit buttons that have long values in them, and then there's a lot of useless space before and after the values, making the buttons extra big. Is there some way of removing this extra space? I have the creations of the buttons in a perl subroutine because they're called so often, so if there's some way other than saying width="some pixel amount", I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for any help.

Try:

<input type="submit" style="padding:0px;" value="Some text here" />

Failing that, try:

<input type="submit" style="padding:0px; width:auto" value="Some text here" />

and failing that, try

<input type="submit" style="padding:0px; width:10em" value="Some text here" />

(changing 10 to be whatever value you need).

However, be warned that some browsers and some operating systems do not give you muc flexibility. See here:

Hope this helps,

Why not trim the whitespace from the values server-side in your perl script before delivering them to the page? That would seem the most obvious approach to me.
