Rails `button_to` CSS Styling not working

Question

been trying to style my button_to button, however with no luck. I've had a look in the CSS file and used #button {color:red;}, button {color:red;} and .button {color:red;} but to no avail for all of them. I also have this in my HTML.ERB file <%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button' but that doesn't help.

Is there any reason why that doesn't work?

The CSS stylesheet is linked to the Rails app, as I tried changing the value for the table so that's not the issue. Been trying for a while now, still can't figure out the solution.

You can use style inline

<%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button', {:style => "background: color:red; } %>

or you can use css clas like

<%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button', {:class => "button"} %>

Nope that still doesn't work. I noticed my previous code works if there is no :action=>"compare". Very strange, I need to be able to change it as well though

Ok figured out the problem, I should have done like what you told me to do <%= button_to 'Compare DB',:action => "compare", :id => 'button', {:style => "background: color:red; } %>, paying close attention to the Brackets before style. Thanks
