How to make buttons the same size/width in tablet view

Recommended Posts

Site URL: https://typeAprofessionals.com

Hi all,

I have two large side-by-side buttons at the bottom of my home page, with a spacer on each side to make them more centered on the page. The buttons are the same width as each other and look fine in desktop and mobile view.

However, in tablet view, the "order form" button is slightly narrower than the "file upload" button and it looks bad that they're not the same width. I believe button width in tablet view is being determined by their text labels, and "file upload" is one character longer than "order form."

If I remove one letter from the "file upload" button, then they're the same width in tablet view. But obviously I want to keep the labels as is. I also noticed that if I remove the spacers, then they're the same width in tablet view, but I don't want to do this either because I like them more centered.

I've searched the forum on this but haven't found a solution. If anyone can come up with one using CSS, it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

try

@media only screen and (min-width: 600px) and (max-width: 992px) {
  #get-started .sqs-block-button-element {
    width: 90px;
  }
}

Hi bangank36, thank you! The buttons are now the same size, thanks to your code. I adjusted the width to add a little spacing between the buttons and I added a left margin to get them centered correctly on the page:

margin-left: -5px;
width: 75px;

However, now the words "FILE UPLOAD" are not centered in the second button. Any idea how to correct this? Maybe I should have centered the buttons a different way than adding "margin-left"?
