How to make a transparent HTML button in CSS?

How to make a transparent HTML button?

We use the CSS property background-color and apply the value to it as transparent to make a transparent HTML button.

This value will tell the browser to keep the background color of this button as transparent so there will be no specific color applied to the button & the background color of the HTML document will overlap the button.

Once we apply this property to the button element then all the buttons on the HTML document will remain transparent.

We can also create a separate class & apply the CSS to allow transparency for only a few buttons on the HTML document. In this case, we need to additionally apply the class to specific buttons.

Now we will see a practical demonstration of this case.

CSS :-

    .btn {
       background-color: transparent;
    }
			

HTML :-

    <button>button</button>
    <button class="btn">button</button> 

Output :-

In the CSS code syntax, we have created a class style, used a property background-color, and given it a value as transparent.

In the HTML section, we have created two buttons, the First button has no class whereas the second button has applied the class so that the transparent style will be applied only to the second button.

In the output image, the first button is displayed with the background color that is the default background color of the browser whereas the second button can be seen with transparency & it happened due to the CSS class applied to the second button.
