CSS Framework Basics Build a Website with Bootstrap Building the Form and Button Panel

CSS Framework Basics - Bootstrap -- Where does Guil cover the submit button styling?

In the final project files for the stage "Building the Form and Button Panel" there is a comment flag section for the form and styling of the form element and submit button in the my-styles.css file. Unless he circles back later (and a quick skim does not indicate that he does) I have found no place where this is covered.

Anyone have an explanation? Did I miss it somewhere prior? Thanks.

I haven't done this lesson in awhile, but you can use the Chrome developer tool magnifying glass to choose the form button to see what the classes are for it in the boostrap.css and my-styles.css files. Once you get the classes, you can either use control-F to find those classes in the css files and edit them, or you can add the classes to the bottom of your css file and add new styling.

Since I haven't worked on this specific exmaple for some time, this may be outside the scope of what you are trying to find. I hope this helps though! I tend to have to use this method when working through bootstrap files all the time.

Hi Jay, thanks for the comment. Yeah I completely agree on steady use of dev tools. Firebug has saved my sanity on many an occasion!

I believe that the disconnect is a small oversight in the course, could be confusing to others... it's also possible I just needed a break :)
