Common Mistakes

Using 'btn-xs' which is not a valid Bootstrap size.

Using 'btn-sm' or 'btn-lg' which changes the size to small or large.

Bootstrap uses btn-md for medium size buttons, but actually medium is the default size and does not require a size class. However, if you want to explicitly specify, btn-md is used in some contexts.

Common Mistakes

Using 'btn-outline-primary' instead of 'btn-outline-danger'.

Forgetting the base 'btn' class.

Using 'lg' instead of 'sm' for size.

The class btn is the base button class, btn-outline-danger creates an outline style with danger color, and btn-sm makes the button small.

<button class="btn btn-primary ?">Click</button>

easy

A. btn-sm

B. btn-lg

3. Final Answer:

   The first button is default size, the second is smaller -> Option D

5. You want a form with two buttons: a large green 'Save' button and a small red 'Cancel' button. Which code snippet correctly applies Bootstrap button sizes and colors?

hard

A. <button class="btn btn-success btn-sm">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-danger btn-lg">Cancel</button>

B. <button class="btn btn-success btn-lg">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm">Cancel</button>

C. <button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-warning btn-sm">Cancel</button>

D. <button class="btn btn-danger btn-lg">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-success btn-sm">Cancel</button>

Solution

1. Step 1: Match button colors to meanings

   Bootstrap uses btn-success for green and btn-danger for red buttons.

2. Step 2: Apply correct sizes to buttons

   The 'Save' button should be large, so use btn-lg. The 'Cancel' button should be small, so use btn-sm.

3. Step 3: Verify the correct combination

   <button class="btn btn-success btn-lg">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm">Cancel</button> correctly uses btn-success btn-lg for 'Save' and btn-danger btn-sm for 'Cancel'. Other options swap colors or sizes incorrectly.

   <button class="btn btn-success btn-lg">Save</button> <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm">Cancel</button> -> Option B

5. Quick Check:

   Green = btn-success, Large = btn-lg, Red = btn-danger, Small = btn-sm [OK]

Hint: Green = btn-success, Red = btn-danger, sizes btn-lg/sm [OK]

• Swapping btn-success and btn-danger classes
