format size of submit button 1

[ksbigfoot]

I have 2 lines of submit buttons (12 in all). I want to add in one more button, but I don't have the space and if I do add in one more button, it will add a 3rd line.

I noticed there is quite a bit of space beside the wording of the buttons, is there a way to get the spaces out and make the buttons not as wide?

Thanks

You can change the words (to make more space) and you can adjust the width of the buttons (using css).

What have you tried so far? Post up the relevant code fragment to help us here.

Cheers,

yes, you can probably use margin or padding settings. however, did you ever think of what it may look like if a user has his text size set to large in the browser?

i don't suggest trying to limit things to certain number of lines this way - it's not very user friendly.

Howdy Jeff & cLFlaVa,

I was looking at

http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/form_controls/buttons/

but I seen the buttons are just as wide. I don't know how to change the width of a button in CSS, I will search on how to do this.

I have been looking around this forum and I wonder if this would work?
I will use an image instead of a submit button. When the image is clicked it will pass in a value into a Javascript function. The Javascript function will populate a hidden field called Submit with the value passed into the function.
Then the Javascript function will submit the form.
This way, the page that is called looks at the Submit button and sees the value.
Do you think this will work in all browsers?
Thanks

Howdy Jeff,

Star to you.
I found this: style="width: 120px;"
If works on setting the width of my submit buttons.
Thanks again
