What is a Button?

A button on a webpage is an element that encourages user interaction by allowing them to click to perform specific functions.

Buttons can execute a variety of functions.

For example, clicking a login button will log you in, clicking a sign-up button will navigate you to the sign-up page, and clicking a create post button will take you to the page where you can create a post.

Buttons can be placed anywhere on a webpage. They are used so frequently that they are often pre-created for reuse.

Button Example Code - html

<li>
  <a class="nav-link btn btn-primary" href="#footer"
    >Contact <i class="fas fa-arrow-right"></i
  ></a>
</li>

Button Example Code - css

.navbar .btn {
  margin-right: 24px;
}

.fas.fa-arrow-right {
  margin-left: 8px;
  font-size: 14px;
}

.btn {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 12px 32px;
