Centre text on full width buttons #289
Centre text on full width buttons #289
Conversation
Text on native input button/submit inputs is normally centred. When links are dressed as buttons the text is left aligned. This is okay on tablet views and above as buttons are only as wide as they need to be but on mobile views, buttons are full width. Centre the text for full width buttons for consistency.
@gavboulton Can you attach some screenshots before / after? |
@edwardhorsford I've updated the description. |
I'm a bit confused, in the elements site, the button text is already centred? |
@joelanman We have no examples of buttons on Elements that are actually links styled as buttons. Buttons are already centred, but links styled as buttons aren't. I'd consider this a bug. |
Yep, this is good. |
@gemmaleigh @robinwhittleton Could you release an updated version of govuk-elements-sass please? |
We’ve been merging some other things in today. Me or @gemmaleigh will probably be able to cut a new release tomorrow. |
- Remove the images path override from the helpers partial ([PR #292](#292)). This will break background images that are currently using the `file-url` function from [the url-helpers partial in the frontend toolkit](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_frontend_toolkit/blob/d54c9b26d314a6e6cb50ba90f6e96ca50049498f/stylesheets/_url-helpers.scss). As `$path` will vary from project to project you will need to define this in your main application stylesheet. - Bump govuk frontend toolkit to 4.16.1 ([PR #288](#288)). This adds space key activation to links with a role of button. - Form validation patterns for conditionally revealing content ([PR #286](#286)) - Centre text on full-width buttons ([PR #289](#289)) - Lint JS code using [StandardJS](http://standardjs.com/) ([PR #290](#290)) *This version deprecates external link styles. If your service has user research that indicates that external links are useful (or not) then we’d like to hear from you either on Slack, [digital-service-designers](https://groups.google.com/a/digital.cabinet-office.gov.uk/forum/#!forum/digital-service-designers) or [opening an issue](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk_elements/issues/new).*
