# --description--
Normally, your `button` elements with the `btn` and `btn-default` classes are only as wide as the text that they contain. For example:
`<button class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>`
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
This button would only be as wide as the word "Submit".
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
<button class='btn btn-default'>Submit</button>
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
By making them block elements with the additional class of `btn-block` , your button will stretch to fill your page's entire horizontal space and any elements following it will flow onto a "new line" below the block.
`<button class="btn btn-default btn-block">Submit</button>`
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
This button would take up 100% of the available width.
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
<button class='btn btn-default btn-block'>Submit</button>
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
Note that these buttons still need the `btn` class.

Add Bootstrap's `btn-block` class to your Bootstrap button.

Your button should still have the `btn` and `btn-default` classes.
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
```js
assert($('button').hasClass('btn') && $('button').hasClass('btn-default'));
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
```
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
Your button should have the class `btn-block` .
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
```js
assert($('button').hasClass('btn-block'));
```
2018-09-30 23:01:58 +01:00
2020-11-27 19:02:05 +01:00
All of your `button` elements should have closing tags.
```js
assert(
code.match(/<\/button>/g) &&
code.match(/<button/g) &&
code.match(/<\/button>/g).length === code.match(/<button/g).length
);
```
