How can I increase the submit button font size? In chrome in particular, it's too small and the text looks squished.
Working fiddle
body, input {
font-size: 30px;
}
I know there is
-webkit-appearance: none;
but that resets a lot of other styling. I'd like to keep the default styling, just with a different font size.
I faced the similar problem, but when i put the style inline in input element, it was working. So some other styling could be causing the the problem.
<input type="submit" value="Register" style = "font-size:20px">
Webkit will respect your custom form element styles if you set a border or box-shadow property (yes, weird). As others have said, start with at least -webkit-appearance: none;
(I'd add -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none;
) and then refer to to this answer to "HTML select font-size"
Using CSS, I found that using a more specific selector solved the problem. Instead of using a class or type selector:
button {font-size: 1.5em;}
I used an ID selector:
\#submit {...}
To change the font size of a submit button, simply use this css code:
input[type=submit] {
font-size: 0.5em;
}
Example:

EDIT: changed px to em
I did this and works for me:
<font size="5">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</font>
Add a class to the submit button HTML and in that class in css override the standard font-size.
You can also do something with CSS2/3 as:
input[type=submit]{
font-size:2em;
}
I would also recommend using em
s as a font size rather than px
as pixels will appear differently on different devices and at different resolutions. For example with Retina.
NOTE:
em's are a relative scale based on the font-size set in the body, so if your body { font-size:16px; }
then a later defined sub rule font-size of 1.5em
in for example the input type will be 1.5 x 16px, etc.
This works for me:
input[type=submit] {
font-size: 1em;
}
