Placing a Input Box over a Button with same width

Question

I am using Bootstrap 2.1 and some custom css.

I have a label and an input element that I need to place just above a div that acts like a button

<label for="email">Enter your EMail Address</label>
<input id="email" name="email" type="text" />
<div class="somebutton ">
  <a href="#" class="gradient" title="Buy Flowers">
    <span class="button_price">$14.99</span>
    <span class="button_text">Buy Flowers</span>
  </a>
  <p class="hint">Flowers delivered in 24 hours.</p>
</div>

CSS

.somebutton {
    padding:20px 0 0 0;
}
.somebutton a {
    background: #97bf0f;
    /* Old browsers */
    /* IE9 SVG, needs conditional override of 'filter' to 'none' */
    background: url(data:image/svg+xml;

    /* W3C */
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#97bf0f', endColorstr='#73a726', GradientType=0);
    /* IE6-8 */
    font-family:'Bree Serif', serif;
    color:#fff;
    font-size:2.0em;
    text-shadow:0 -1px #35490e;
    display:inline-block;
    border-radius:5px;
    -webkit-border-radius:5px;
    -moz-border-radius:5px;
    box-shadow:0 1px 3px #181818;
}

I want that Email to be the same width as that of the Div. How can I do it?

Also the label, text and Div combined should have a top-bottom padding of 20px.

Answer 1

Why don't you use button instead of div? This might achieve what you want.

<label for="email">Enter your EMail Address</label>
<div class="somebutton ">

<a href="#" class="gradient" title="Buy Flowers"><input id="email" name="email" type="text" /><span class="button_price">$14.99</span> <span class="button_text">Buy Flowers</span></a>
<p class="hint">Flowers delivered in 24 hours.</p>
</div>
