Question

been trying to style my button_to button, however with no luck.
I’ve had a look in the CSS file and used
#button {color:red;}, button {color:red;} and .button {color:red;} but to no avail for all of them.
I also have this in my HTML.ERB file <%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button' but that doesn’t help.

Is there any reason why that doesn’t work?

The CSS stylesheet is linked to the Rails app, as I tried changing the value for the table so that’s not the issue.
Been trying for a while now, still can’t figure out the solution.

You can use style inline

<%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button', {:style => "background: color:red; } %> 

or you can use css clas like

<%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button', {:class => "button"} %>
