Html <a> Link going outside of button-CodePudding

I am trying to make a header with a button on it that redirects you to other webpage. It works, but the link on the button is clickable not only on the button, but theres a grey rectangle to the left of it that you can click and it will also redirect you to the webpage. I've made the rectangle transparent, but you can still click on it. How do I make only the button clickable? The red circle is the annoying rectangle that links to the other website too that i'm trying to get rid of

Make the link an inline-block.

.fixedh a {
    display: inline-block;
}

* {
  background-color: rgb(43, 43, 43);
}

.fixedh {
  background-color: #535353;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100px;
}

.linkbtn {
  color: aqua;
  background: green;
  width: 70px;
  height: 40px;
  margin-left: 50px;
}

.linkbtn:hover {
  color: green;
  background: aqua;
  width: 70px;
  height: 40px;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px;
}

.spec {
  font-size: 100px;
}

.fixedh a {
  display: inline-block;
}

<div >
  This is a header

  <a href="https://google.com">
    <button >Click me :D</button>
  </a>
</div>

CodePudding user response：

So instead of wrapping the button around an <a> tag, you would wrap the button around a tag. So instead your code from lines 48-50 would look like this:

<form action="{{ url_for('index') }}">
    <button >Click me :D</button>
</form>

Hopefully this helps any issues you have!

CodePudding user response：

Instead of wrapping your button inside an a tag, you can use onClick event on your button

   <button   
            onClick="window.location.href='{ 
                     url_for('index') }';">
      Click me :D
   </button>
