I have created a CSS class called \'button\' and applied it to all of my INPUT tags by simply using :
.button input
{
//css stuff here
}
Try using:
.button input, .button a {
// css stuff
}
Also, read up on CSS.
Edit: If it were me, I'd add the button class to the element, not to the parent tag. Like so:
HTML:
BUTTON TEXT
CSS:
.button {
// css stuff
}
For specific css stuff use:
input.button {
// css stuff
}
a.button {
// css stuff
}
