Ecommerce button and Form

Report · Nov 05, 2021

I styled a "buy it" button and am trying to figure out how to add my form so that it connects and looks like my button. I tried adding the form but then the style gets messed up. I am in a beginning web class so bare with me. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is my HTML for the button.

</a></div>

<button type = "button" class = "btn-buy"> buy now

</button>

</div>

<h2 class = "sm-title">Pothos</h2>

</div>

<a href = "#" class = "product-name">Golden Pothos</a>

</div>

This is my CSS for the button.

:root{

--carribean-green: #40c9a2;
}
*{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}

font-family: 'Vidaloka', serif;

This is my form.

I also tried putting the form between my code like this but it does not look right....

The <form> Submit button is all that's likely to work with your shopping cart. So you should concentrate on styling that input element with CSS or graphic image. Forget about the <button> element in this context.

Refer to Mal's Ecommerce Support for details:

https://www.mals-e.com/support_using_a_form.php

CSS:

======

input[type=submit] {
background-color: #4CAF50;
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 16px 32px;
text-decoration: none;
margin: 4px 2px;
cursor: pointer;
}

Form Submit with image (not as user friendly as REAL text):

=============

Hope that helps.
