# [[HOWTO CSS Block Buttons]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
A `<button>` is inline-block by default, so `width: 100%` alone does nothing until `display: block` is also set — this is the same "unconstrained-vs-constrained-width" dependency seen in `[[HOWTO CSS Center Website]]`'s `margin: auto`, just from the opposite direction: there, the element needed a WIDTH LIMIT to leave room for centering; here, the button needs its DISPLAY TYPE changed before a width percentage can have any visual effect on an inherently content-sized element. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`display: block` + `width: 100%`** — both required together; a button (default `inline-block`) won't stretch to `100%` width without first becoming a block-level element. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- `.block { display: block; width: 100%; border: none; padding: 14px 28px; text-align: center; }`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
없음 — 신규 레시피, 기존 문서와 모순되는 내용 없음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 컨테이너 전체 폭을 차지하는 버튼 하나의 최소 예제가 원문에서 제시됨. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Block button — requires both display:block AND width:100% (CSS):
```css
.block {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  border: none;
  padding: 14px 28px;
  text-align: center;
}
```
