How to format <html:cancel/> button with css.

The type attribute maybe submit. I have already formatted the submit attribute type with the color green. I want this button to be red with other custom styling.

Hi Nick!

Can you post the HTML and CSS that you are using for your button?

Thanks!

<html:submit/>
<html:cancel/>

I think they are Struts tags.

I am modifying the buttons right now in css with code like this below. The problem is that the css apply to both buttons. There may not be a cancel attribute type in standard html so I could just replace submit with cancel.

input[type="submit"] {
      ........
}

Nick,

You can try putting a styleName, styleId, or styleClass attribute in the tag as a hook for your CSS. I think you might be better off with styleClass if you're going to be using submit buttons with the same styling.
