Small Firefox input button CSS styling issue?

[ajcool123]

Hi Guys!

I have the following class defined for a submit button.

.InputButtonTest
{
width: 90px;
color: White;
background: #022F68;
height: 19px;
font-size: 13px;
border: 1px solid #022F68;
line-height: 8px;
}

The button looks good in IE7/8 + Chrome, however in Firefox it appears the text for the button value is being pushed down. I need to keep the actual pixel height of the element at 19px, but can someone suggest a fix for Firefox?

Thank you very much!

why line-height: 8px?

If you remove the line height in IE7/IE8 things get out of wack. Try it and let me know if you are seeing different results if you can.

Thank you very much!

Agree with dtm's implication, get rid of the line-height and align the text using padding-top. Important to note, when you add a padding-top, this must be subtracted from the height value to maintain the 19px height of your button.

I would try this, for starters, but you might need to mess with it.

.InputButtonTest
{
width: 90px;
color: White;
background: #022F68;
height: 16px;
font-size: 13px;
border: 1px solid #022F68;
padding-top: 3px;
}

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately a padding top just appears to push the text off the button. Are you seeing different results? Any other suggestions to get this worked out?

Thank you!

My bad, buttons act differently (or at least appear to in my current testing/state of exhaustion) than what I was thinking. Replace padding-top with padding-bottom and it is the best you can do with a restricted 19px high button with 13px high text.

Try this in your CSS if it is a <button>...

button::-moz-focus-inner { padding:0 !important; }

...or if it is an <input type="button">

input[type="button"]::-moz-focus-inner { padding:0 !important; }


Should fix the padding problem.
