Styling buttons

Small buttons, mainly to use inline

<p><a class="sc-button bt-create bt-small">You button</a></p>

You can omit content and show a button with an icon only :

<a class="sc-button bt-create"></a>

You can hide content and show it only on hover

<a class="sc-button bt-create has-hidden"><span class="show-on-hover">Showed when mouse pass on</span></a>

You can customize the icon :

<a class="sc-button bt-create change-icon"><i class="fa fa-icon"></i>Button with custom icon</a>

Grouping buttons

Grouping buttons can be done using ul.record_actions element (an ul list with class record_actions):

<ul class="record_actions">

   <li class="cancel">
      <a class="sc-button bt-cancel">Cancel</a>
   <li>

   <li>
      <a class="sc-button bt-save">Save</a>
   </li>

</ul>

The element with the cancel class will be set in first position.

Inside table, the space between elements will be shorter.

You can add the class record_actions_small if you want shorter space between elements.
