<input type="submit" id="appCreate" name="Reds" value="Reds" formaction=@Url.Action("") formmethod="post" class="btn btn-success btn-block" onclick="javascript: return SubmitForm(this);" />


CSS -



.reddot {
content: "25cf";
font-size: 1.5em;
color: red;
}


I want to add <span class="reddot"></span> to the value of my button (it just creates a red dot icon). So the value of my button shown is Reds<red dot icon>



How can I do this?

  • @TylerRoper Right, but what would the work around be? Is it impossible to show a reddot inside a button?

  • Sorry, deleted my comment. You're trying to have a red dot at the end of the button text? Or is the red dot always in the same place on the button, regardless of its text?

  • Well preferably a right aligned reddot, while the text is left aligned. But I would also be fine with the reddot just being after the text. @TylerRoper

  • The red dot being right-aligned is much easier than the latter. I'll submit an answer.

    <input> elements are considered void elements, therefore they cannot contain children. You could use a <button> element, but personally I'd discourage this method because the HTML spec deems it invalid.



    One possible solution is to wrap the button in a container. That container could have a pseudo-element (::after) that places the red dot for you.






    .reddot {
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
    }

    .reddot > input[type=submit] {
    text-align: left;
    padding-right: 20px; /* Add padding to make space for the dot */
    }

    .reddot::after { /* Place an element inside of .reddot */
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%); /* Center it vertically */
    right: 5px; /* 5px off the right edge */
    content: "25cf";
    font-size: 1.5em;
    color: red;
    pointer-events: none; /* Make sure the dot doesn't block the button */
    }

    <div class="reddot">
    <input type="submit" />
    </div>

    <div class="reddot">
    <input type="submit" value="Here's another button with a red dot!" />
    </div>
