Foundation - Button Basics

Description

Buttons can be created with fewer markup. Buttons in Foundation can be created by two tags which are listed below −

  • <a> − You can use it when your button is a link to another page or an anchor in page. Usually JavaScript is not required to work with anchors.

  • <button> − You can use it when some action has to be performed by a button. You always require JavaScript function to work with <button> elements.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use button in Foundation.
