How to Customize the Submit Button With CSS

April 24, 2024

Aside from the Submit button’s ready-made styles, you can also customize your submit button with CSS. Make your visitors feel good when sending their info and increase your conversion rates.

To change your submit button’s appearance with CSS

  1. In the Form Builder, open the Form Designer on the right.
Step to open the form designer in Jotform
  1. In the right panel, go to Styles at the top.
  2. Scroll down to Inject Custom CSS.
Steps to apply custom CSS in Jotform
  1. Enter your custom CSS or apply the following code:
.form-submit-button {
background: #0066A2;
color: white;
border-style: outset;
border-color: #0066A2;
height: 50px;
width: 100px;
font: bold15px arial,sans-serif;
text-shadow: none;
}

To break that down

  • .form-submit-button — The selector for the submit button on your form.
  • background — The color behind the text.
  • color — Determines the text color.
  • border-style — Sets the style of your submits button’s borders.
  • border-color — The color of your submit button borders.
  • height — Sets the height of your button in pixels.
  • width — The width of your button in pixels.
  • font — The text font properties.

Here’s what the button looks like afterward:
