Question

There seems to be no class for input type ‘submit’ in font-awesome. Is it possible to use some class from font-awesome for button input? I’ve added icons to all buttons (which actually links with class ‘btn’ from twitter-bootstrap) in my applications, but can’t add icons on ‘input type submit’.

Or, how to use this code:

input#image-button{
    background: #ccc url('icon.png') no-repeat top left;
    padding-left: 16px;
    height: 16px;
}

html:

<input type="submit" id="image-button">Text</input>

(which I took from HTML: How to make a submit button with text + image in it?) with font-awesome?

Answer 1

use button type=”submit” instead of input

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">
    <i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right fa-lg"></i> Next
</button>

for Font Awesome 3.2.0 use

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">
    <i class="icon-circle-arrow-right icon-large"></i> Next
</button>
