Create a Button Group with CSS
On a web page, we can easily create a button group. We will create a single div for all the buttons in a button group. They will be set with display inline-block. Also, the hover effect will be set.
Create a Button Group on a web Page
In a div, set the buttons using the <button> element −
<div class="btnGroup"> <button>Facebook</button> <button>Twitter</button> <button>LinkedIn</button> </div>
Style the Button Groups
The display suggests how to control the layout of an element. In this case, the inline-block of the display property displays an element as an inline-level block container i.e. the buttons. The shadow for the buttons is set using the box-shadow property −
.btnGroup{
display: inline-block;
font-size: 0;
border: 2px solid darkgreen;
box-shadow: 5px 10px 18px rgb(55, 173, 39);
}
Style the Buttons
The individual buttons are aligned to the left using the float property −
button{
float: left;
margin:0px;
border:none;
padding: 15px;
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 20px;
}
On Hover
The :hover selector is used to set the styles for the buttons when they are individually hovered −
button:hover{
background:rgb(48, 24, 134);
box-shadow: 5px 10px 18px rgb(41, 39, 173);
color:white;
}
Example
The following is the code to create a button group using CSS −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.btnGroup{
display: inline-block;
font-size: 0;
border: 2px solid darkgreen;
box-shadow: 5px 10px 18px rgb(55, 173, 39);
}
button{
float: left;
margin:0px;
border:none;
padding: 15px;
font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 20px;
}
button:not(:last-child){
border-right: 2px solid rgb(6, 134, 49);
}
button:hover{
background:rgb(48, 24, 134);
box-shadow: 5px 10px 18px rgb(41, 39, 173);
color:white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Button Group</h1>
<div class="btnGroup">
<button>Facebook</button>
<button>Twitter</button>
<button>LinkedIn</button>
</div>
<p>Hover over the above button group to see hover effects</p>
</body>
</html>
