attribute value in a html button

[Matt]

The code
<input type="button" name="btn" value="ok">

will produce a html button with caption ok and value ok.
The problem is the width of button is dependent on the length of
attribute value.

And I do the following, which is not a good solution.

<input type="button" name="btn" value=" ok ">

The problem is if I want to get the button's value:
Request.Form("btn"), then I need to trim the data.

any ideas??

Assign a class to the input, like "ok"

<input type="button" name="btn" value="ok" class="ok">

Then add a CSS rule:

input.ok {width: 10em;}

a) specify width with css

b) [more flexible, slightly less supported]
Use <button style="padding: 0 1em">ok</button> instead.
