CSS Button No Style

CSS buttons are a crucial part of user interface design. They are elements of a web page that allow users to interact with the webpage, such as submitting a form, opening a link, or resetting a field. Developers use CSS to style buttons to match the design of their website or application. However, sometimes designers want to use a button that has no style, no default or user agent style, or in other words, a button that is plain unstyled. In this article, we will discuss how to create a CSS button with no style.

HTML Markup

To create an unstyled button using CSS, we will first start with the HTML markup. A button element can be created by using the <button> tag in HTML.

<button>Unstyled Button</button>

This code creates a button element with the text "Unstyled Button". By default, the button will have a basic style, including a background color and border.

CSS Styles

To remove the style from the button, we will use CSS to style it. There are two ways to remove the style from a button. One is to remove all the styles of the button, and the other is to reset the button styles to their default values.

Method 1: Remove all the styles

To remove all the styles of the button, we can simply set all the CSS properties of the button to their initial values. This can be done by using the "unset" value.

button {
  all: unset;
}

The "all" property sets all the CSS properties of an element to their initial values, including the ones that are not inherited. This will remove all the styles of the button, including the background color, border, padding, margin, and so on.

Method 2: Reset default styles

Another way to remove the styles of the button is to reset them to their default values. This method is useful when you want to keep some of the button styles, such as the font size, font family, or text color.

button {
  background-color: transparent;
  border: none;
  color: inherit;
  font: inherit;
  line-height: inherit;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  text-align: inherit;
  text-decoration: none;
}

This code resets the default styles of the button. The button will have transparent background color, no border, inherit text color and font, no margin or padding, and inherit text alignment and decoration.

Conclusion

In this article, we have discussed how to create a CSS button with no style. We have seen two ways to remove the default styles of the button. You can choose the method that best suits your needs. Using an unstyled button can be useful when designing custom buttons that match your website or application's design, or when you want to use a button with no style to make a visual statement.
