What is a Button?

A button on a web page is an element that encourages users to click on it and helps perform various functions.

Buttons can carry out a wide range of functions.

For example, clicking a login button will log the user in, clicking a sign-up button will navigate to the sign-up page, and clicking a post creation button will navigate to the post creation page.

Buttons can be placed anywhere on a web page. Because they are used so frequently, buttons are often pre-designed and ready for use.

Button Example Code - html

<li>
  <a class="nav-link btn btn-primary" href="#footer"

  ></a>
</li>
