<input type="submit & button" ??

Hi guys,

Im editing a plugin to match the bootstrap styles and am struggling with getting the "btn btn-succes" classes to work on the submit button! here is the code:

```
<input type="submit" id="gct_submit_testimonial" name="gct_submit_testimonial" value="'.__("Versturen", GCT_NAME).'" class="btn btn-success" validate="required:true" />
```

the type="submit" should contain "button" for the bootstrap button to add it styles, but that breaks the submit button and makes it and input field with the button styles.

How do I fix this? thanks!

You need to use the <button type="submit">My Button</button> element not the <input type="submit"> element with bootstrap.
