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??

Lot's of.

But this is an ASP NG, for serverside(!) coding.

Please search for a HTML, CSS, Javascript or other for follow up.

====================

btw:

<input type=hidden name="btn" value="myvalue">
<button onclick="submit()" style="[width in css-code]">
Hi</button>

please do not respond in this NG.

Matt, mate - these are all client-side questions - go ask them in a
client-side group. Use a style sheet and class to make your button
fixed-width (it's a presentation issue) and remove the spaces from around
your values (the 'data').
