Is it better to use padding or height property for buttons?

Question

css

Is it better to use the padding or height property for optimal button layout?
It will be easier if you ask for example:

height: 60px;
vertical-align:middle;

Or is it better to calculate indents? How do you make buttons?

Answer 1

padding works when the height of the button is not fixed, for example the text in the button can wrap over multiple lines and when the button is made via a link rather than an input or button

Answer 2

In fact, it depends on the layout and on who and how will insert and edit the content.
It is more expedient to use paddings, less likely to get text that comes out.
But designers and their requirements are different.

Answer 3

If you have the same font size and the same padding in all buttons, then the height will be the same. It makes no sense to set a fixed height, because then you either need to hide the text of the second line (it can slide when scaling, for example), or it will crawl out of the button.

Answer 4

More universal - indents. And you don't have to worry about text alignment.

Answer 5

Better than padding, limiting the height is generally a pretty bad idea in most cases.
