Drupal - Add class to all submit buttons

I have several forms in my webpage, and I want to be able to add a class to all my submit buttons (right now I have form-submit as standard). And also, in some forms I have button which uses AHAH in order to show something, but I don't want these to have the new class, only those button who does the final submit on the form.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Or you can overwrite theme_button which is responsible for the submit buttons. Place this in the template.php file and make sure to clear the cache after you make the changes. You can var_dump the $element and see how you can differentiate between the submit buttons.

    /**
 * Overwrite theme_button()
 * @file template.php
 * !replace my_theme with the name of your active theme
 */
function my_theme_button($element) {

  // Add some extra conditions to make sure we're only adding
  // the classto the right submit button
  if ($element['#id'] == 'edit-submit') {
    // Now add our custom class
    if (isset($element['#attributes']['class'])) {
      $element['#attributes']['class'] .= ' extra-class';
    }
    else {
      $element['#attributes']['class'] = 'extra-class';
    }
  }

  return theme_button($element);
}
