You can adjust submit a button style depending on its state:

  • Normal - button style before a user sends a form.
  • Hover - button style when a user hovers over it.
  • After sent - button style when a user sends a form.
  • On error - button style when a user sends a form, but an error occurs for example, when a user didn't fill one of the required fields.
