On button

For getting color in buttons you need to use CSS [cascading stylesheets]

see the below code i have written which will print the text on Button in Red color

let me know if this helps you.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<HTML>
<HEAD> <TITLE> Color on Buttons with CSS</TITLE>

<style type="text/css">
.altButtonFormat {
background-color: #c0c0c0;
font-family: verdana;
border: #000000 1px solid;
font-size: 12px;
color: RED
} 
</style> 

</HEAD>
<BODY >

<FORM name="form1" action="" method="POST" >

<INPUT type=submit value=Submit class="altButtonFormat">		
<INPUT type=reset value=Reset class ="altButtonFormat">

<FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hello friends,
I have a doubt on the button and that is how to set the color for the text that is displayed on the button. I tried on following ways:

<input type="button" name="click" value="Add Comment" style="font-color: red">

<font color=red><inpu t type="button" name="click" value="Add Comment" style="font-color: red"></font>

So, my option is that put the color for Add Comment. Please try for me and suggest me.

There is no such thing as 'font-color' in CSS. Just change that to 'color:red' and it will work.

Nagendra,
Your doctype is incomplete and all new pages should always use a strict one.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
