Yii : How to make a button with an html tag inside the label
Solution 1
CHtml::submitButton
produces an <input type="submit">
that cannot accept additional HTML as its content. However, you can do things to taste with CHtml::tag
:
echo CHtml::tag('button',
array('class' => 'btn btn-large pull-right'),
'<i class="icon-user"></i> Login');
This will produce a <button>
tag that can take arbitrary HTML as its content.
Update: As frostyterrier points out in the comments, there's a built-in method CHtml::htmlButton
that allows you to do this even more easily:
echo CHtml::htmlButton('<i class="icon-user"></i> Login',
array('class' => 'btn btn-large pull-right'));
Solution 2
Try to set 'encode' to false in htmlOptions parameter.
<?php
echo CHtml::submitButton('<i class="icon-user"></i> Login',
array(
'encode' => false,
'class' => 'btn btn-large pull-right'
));
?>

I'm trying to use some bootstrap features like the Icon glyphs in the Yii CHtml class, here is my code:
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton('<i class="icon-user"></i> Login', array( 'class' => 'btn btn-large pull-right' )); ?>
But it kinda don't "recognize" the tag and just renders the tag out like the image bellow .
does anyone knows how to workaround it (without typing the html tags itself).
Thank you guys.
