Submit Message button help!!!

Hi, below is the HTML and CSS code for a submit button that submits but for some reason doesn't apply the 'Submit Message' text on the button...How can I resolve??

HTML

<button type="submit" value="Send" class="btn-success" id="submit">Submit Message</button>

CSS

.btn-success{ background-color: #777; color: #fff; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 3px; border-color: #777; width: 205px; height: 100px; margin-top: 12px; margin-left: 173px; border-radius: 0px; }

.btn-success:hover{ background-color: #333; color: #fff; border-color: #333;

Thanks!

I can't seem to replicate the issue.

I see a grey button clearly labeled "SUBMIT MESSAGE" (since it gets transformed to upper case).

The class name was btn-success but I changed it to Bootstraps default btn btn-success which now displays 'Submit Message' on the button, albeit its green...

Good to know! You had not mentioned Bootstrap before and it didn't occur to me that you might have a framework that was affecting the behavior.

And yes, any class in Bootstrap that has "success" in the name will give the element it is used on a green color.
