Buttons

There are 3 main button types described in material design. The raised button is a standard button that signify actions and seek to give depth to a mostly flat page. The floating circular action button is meant for very important functions. Flat buttons are usually used within elements that already have depth like cards or modals.

Raised

Floating

Fixed Action Button

If you want a fixed floating action button, you can add multiple actions that will appear on hover. Our demo is in the bottom righthand corner of the page.

<div class="fixed-action-btn" style="bottom: 45px; right: 24px;">
  <a class="btn-floating btn-large red">
    <i class="large mdi-editor-mode-edit"></i>
  </a>
  <ul>
    <li><a class="btn-floating red"><i class="large mdi-editor-insert-chart"></i></a></li>
    <li><a class="btn-floating yellow darken-1"><i class="large mdi-editor-format-quote"></i></a></li>
    <li><a class="btn-floating green"><i class="large mdi-editor-publish"></i></a></li>
    <li><a class="btn-floating blue"><i class="large mdi-editor-attach-file"></i></a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

Flat

Submit Button

When you use a button to submit a form, instead of using a input tag, use a button tag with a type submit

<button class="btn" type="submit" name="action">
  Submit <i class="mdi-content-send right"></i>
</button>
