Twitter Bootstrap btn-primary Size IE8 - css

Has anyone else noticed strange behaviour by Twitter Bootstrap in IE8 and below? I have two buttons, as follows:
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-large"/>
<input type="reset" class="btn btn-large"/>
The btn-primary button is displaying really small, but the button with just btn btn-large is large, as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
EDIT: Screenshot:

from my comment
Typically any issues you might find with buttons are due to other
style sheets, are you including anything other than bootstrap css?
What you want to do is using CHROME 'right click' on the element, and inspect, then review the styles that are applied to that element.
More-often than not, it is other things being inherited or causing conflict. IE is a fickle beast, one I think most of us would rather do without when it comes to CSS/HTML5 ;)

How to resolve Bootstrap and Clarity styling conflicts when using forms

I'm using Clarity and Bootstrap together in an Angular project, but styling conflicts seem to be popping up, as the styling is not working as intended.
I've tried changing the CSS around in Chrome devtools. I noticed that reboot.scss might be causing some of the problems, but I don't know what to do about that if it is.
Here's the component code.
<h3>New Post</h3>
<form #productEditorForm="ngForm" clrForm>
<clr-select-container>
<label>Location</label>
<select clrSelect name="Location" [(ngModel)]="LocationID">
<option *ngFor="let location of Locations" [value]="location.ID">{{ location.Name }}</option>
</select>
</clr-select-container>
<clr-input-container>
<label>Images</label>
<input clrInput #files type="file"/>
</clr-input-container>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Post</button>
</form>
The expected appearance of the selectbox is like the examples found here. The expected appearance for the button is like the primary button found here; the font size of the buttons is supposed to be .5rem, but the actual size is 1. The intended default font is Metropolis, but the actual font is Segoe UI. The page isn't supposed to have flickering scrollbars and jittery contents, but the actual page does. Where do I go from here?
There are many Angular carousel implementations (this one is built upon Bootstrap but is able to be used in an isolated way https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/getting-started) and they would be able to provide the necessary functionality.
If you do load Bootstrap, you would want to load it before Clarity so Clarity has the final say on the styling.

Upgraded from Angular 5 to Angular 6, Bootstrap button styles have no spacing

Recently, we upgraded from Angular 5 to Angular 6.
The issue: Bootstrap button styles now have no margin spacing between them.
Bootstrap Version: 3.3.7
For example, if in the html you do something like this.
<div>
<button class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
<button class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<button class="btn btn-cancel">Cancel</button>
</div>
Before we updated, these buttons would have margin space between each.
Just curious if there is something we can update that would fix this or a global CSS style that can be used.
In my project I was able to restore default white spaces between Bootstrap buttons, by setting preserveWhitespaces to true in main.ts file:
platformBrowserDynamic()
.bootstrapModule(AppModule, { preserveWhitespaces: true})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
Found it in this place
ConnorsFan's answer link is the answer to our issue.
Angular 6 by default sets the angularCompilerOption: preserveWhitespaces for the application to false.
To add to the marked answer, this issue is caused by the preserveWhitespaces setting.
what's really happening behind the scenes is your template code, for example
<div>
<button class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
<button class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<button class="btn btn-cancel">Cancel</button>
</div>
is getting all the whitespace removed. which also removes the line break at the end of each button element. It's the line break that gives that extra space, not margin between each button.
So this shows more clearly why the buttons are sticking together.
<div><button class="btn btn-success">Success</button><button class="btn btn-info">Info</button><button class="btn btn-cancel">Cancel</button></div>
You can apply the fix as suggestion globally or you can resolve the problem on specific components if needed. https://angular.io/api/core/Component You'll notice that in the docs for #components you can provide an option to turn on/off this feature for that component only.
Another solution as suggested in comments would be to globally add marginto all .btn classes, however this would have the reverse side effect happening of the option ever switches again (giving to much margin between buttons instead of the natural space)
Final note, this is an HTML/DOM side effect, not Angular or CSS, you'll be able to replicate this effect with pretty much any inline elements by removing/adding the linebreak/spaces between each element.
Add the btn-toolbar class to the div to get space margin between the buttons. Like this:
<div class="btn-toolbar">
<button class="btn btn-success">Success</button>
<button class="btn btn-info">Info</button>
<button class="btn btn-cancel">Cancel</button>
</div>

Bootstrap4 Disabled button white instead of supposed color

I am using a bootstrap button on one of my page, that is disabled, and the styling seems to not be working properly
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<button disabled class="btn btn-primary">suivant</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary disabled">suivant</button>
I tried these 2 ways and the result look like this for both approach: initial look || on Mouse over
EDIT: Important to mention that i only have bootstrap4, no personnal style sheet and no other themes
This is a react Project, className is used instead of class
https://codepen.io/jacobweyer/pen/ybqxBK
I've updated this codepen to show Bootstrap4 buttons with BS4 alpha 6. They look like they show up as intended in and outside of React.
<button class="btn btn-primary">suivant</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" disabled>suivant disabled</button>
Another stylesheet was making conflict with bootstrap that i wasnt aware of
thanks to #MichaelCoker for making me search trough my project again

align submit and cancel button with bootstrap

I am using bootstrap 2.0 within my rails app (using the bootstrap-sass gem) and am having trouble getting a submit button aligned with a cancel button.
Here's the code snippet from the form in the html.erb file:
<div class="span3">
<%= f.submit class: "btn btn-primary" %>
<button type="button" class="btn">Cancel</button>
</div>
Here's the HTML it produces:
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Add Person" name="commit">
<button class="btn" type="button">Cancel</button>
And here's what it looks like in firefox 14.0.1. When I look at the
Note: Adding input-append to the div gets me close (see pic below) but is still off a bit--note that cancel is still a bit lower and that the rounded corners on the right side of the add person button are cut off.
How can I get these two buttons to align properly?
Update
I am using Firefox 14.0.1. When I look at the jsfiddle created by #Vestride to duplicate this problem here's what I see:
I am happy with the first result, but when I add the exact same code to my site, I don't get the same result. Instead I get the messed up alignment above. I wonder what this means? Maybe that my CSS for bootstrap is messed up?
Update 7/27
In response to Vestride's latest suggestion, here are the buttons as they show in my Firefox from the fiddle Vestride put together. Note, there's no improvement with changing from input to submit.
I made a jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Vestride/YT3sq but was unable to duplicate your problem. They align perfectly for me (Chrome 21). What browser are you using? In the second example I added a btn-group class to the container element. That might also solve your problem.
Edit:
Try making your <input /> a <button type="submit">. Worked in Firefox for me. I updated the fiddle too.
I know it's an old issue, but using Bootstrap 4 I had the same problem. What solved it for me is adding margin-bottom: 0 or mb-0 class using bootstrap classes on the submit button.

Bootstrap buttons in Firefox on localhost?

I've got an ASP.NET 4 app being developed and tested against http:// localhost/mysite - I spent a while looking into a problem with Twitter Bootstrap buttons in Firefox (v12.0) where they looked weird.
However I noted that, when testing, if I swapped the URL and changed 'localhost' for my machine's FQDN (e.g. http://mymachine.mydomain.com/mysite) then it worked normally and as expected.
This is kinda good news because it means that there isn't a "bug" as such that I have to fix but I'm curious about why it's happened in the first place.
The weird behaviour is as follows:
The 'button' is marked up as follows (in this case, a <a> to look like a button):
<p><a class="btn btn-success" href="checkout.aspx"><i class="icon-shopping-cart icon-white"></i> Checkout</a></p>
I also have the same behaviour when using a 'real' button, marked up as follows:
<p><input type="submit" name="ctl00$cphMainContent$btnProceedToCustomerDetails" value="Next: Your details" onclick="javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$cphMainContent$btnProceedToCustomerDetails", "", true, "", "", false, false))" id="cphMainContent_btnProceedToCustomerDetails" class="btn btn-primary" /></p>
In both cases, the buttons render in a grey, unreadable state and then sort of 'fill up' in green colour when you hover over, until it is about 75% filled up and then stops filling up.
Here's some images
The <a class="btn btn-success">
On load (before mouseover)
When you put your mouse over it, it fills up with colour from the bottom up in about 0.5 seconds, finishing up looking like this:
The <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
On load (before mouseover)
After mouseover, again it fills up with colour from bottom up, in about 0.5 seconds, and looks like this:
Like I say, this only happens when using Firefox, and only when looking at localhost. Other browsers are fine. I am using a freshly downloaded copy of bootstrap.js (downloaded today) with no amendments, I only include one other css file, and even when I don't include it, it's the same behaviour.
I ran into this problem earlier today. This link: twitter bootstrap button changes rendering oddly in firefox and chrome helped me.
In my css, I applied the following:
.btn-primary, .btn-danger, .btn-success { background-image: none; filter: none;}
It worked. My pages now render correctly in firefox. Chrome worked fine for me.
After lots of efforts, I was finally able to pin down this issue to a specific CSS-Hack in Twitter Bootstrap.
Removing * (asterisk) from *background-image of btn-primary and other similar classes resolves this issue.
But the problem itself is not in the CSS. It has got to do with the implementation.
For example, I was using AjaxMin to minify and combine CSS and since *property is not a valid CSS, Ajaxmin was ignoring it rendering the final CSS without those properties. Buggy button effects being one such side-effect.
