Using Style to make a command link look like a command button.

I would like a command like to look like a command button. I was once told that I could to that with using the style but I am having trouble figureing out how to do it. Can anyone give me a hand. Thanks

you can use the styleClass="btn" attribute which will inherit the salesforce buton styles. You might need to use some CSS beyond that to make them an exact match but that should get you 90% of the way there.

That was so useful !

For my piece of code, i wanted to make a normal input type="button" look like a command button and i used:

input type="button" class="btn"

 

and that seemed to work. Thanks !

Genius!  Thanks, this was perfect.

The only additional thing I had to do was add text-decoration:none; to the css style of the link.  I did this per link because I didn't want to create a whole class for it, but easily could have.

We wanted a link in an iframe to redirect parent. Code below matched standard button:

 

<apex:commandLink target="_top" styleClass="btn" style="text-decoration:none;padding:4px;" action="{!URLFOR($Action.MyObject__c.MyNewButton, Id)}" value=" My Custom Button "/>
