Bootstrap Glyphicon as button

Question

Say I wanted to use a glyphicon as a submit button for a form. How would I go about doing this?

To elaborate, I want no 'visible' elements of a traditional button. Just a glyphicon, as it would appear normally in text.

I have tried using <button> and <input type='button'> with the glyphicon classes, and (as one would expect), no luck.

Answer 1

You can use the .btn-link class to have a button appear as a text link:

<form>
...
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-link">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star"></span>
</button>
</form>

See this demo fiddle

Answer 2

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</button>
