Bootstrap Glyphicon as button

css, html, twitter-bootstrap

Solution

You can use the `.btn-link` class to have a button appear as a text link:

<form>
...
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-link">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span>
</button>
</form>

See this demo fiddle

Problem

Say I wanted to use a glyphicon as a submit button for a form. How would I go about doing this? To elaborate, I want no 'visible' elements of a traditional button. Just a glyphicon, as it would appear normally in text. I have tried using `<button>` and `<input type='button'>` with the glyphicon classes, and (as one would expect), no luck.
