Learn how to create loading buttons using CSS.

How to Set Loading Button Styles

Step 1 - Add HTML:

Add an icon library, such as Font Awesome, and attach icons to the HTML button:

<!-- Add icon library -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<!-- Add Font Awesome icon to the button (note that the fa-spin class will rotate the icon) -->
<button class="buttonload">
  <i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i>Loading
</button>
<button class="buttonload">
  <i class="fa fa-circle-o-notch fa-spin"></i>Loading
</button>
<button class="buttonload">
  <i class="fa fa-refresh fa-spin"></i>Loading
</button>

Step 2 - Add CSS:

/* Set button styles */
.buttonload {
  background-color: #04AA6D; /* Green background */
  border: none; /* Remove border */
  color: white; /* White text */
  padding: 12px 16px; /* Some inner padding */
  font-size: 16px /* Set font size */
}
