Align href button and an image button in a single line

Question

I have the following 2 buttons defined in html inside a div as:

<div class="button-div" align="center">

            <a id="cancel" style="background-color: #4b82c3;color: white;display:inline;text-decoration: none !important; font-size: 12px; padding: 10px 11px;margin: 8px 0;border: 1px;border-radius: 20px;" href="/">Cancel</a>

            <input type="image" id="btn" src="/static/images/submit-button.png" value="Submit" alt="Submit" width="90" height="40">

          </div>

Somehow, the button created using the a tag is not aligned with the button defined as an image. How do I align these buttons together?

PS: I don't face the issue if both the buttons are defined as an image.

Answer 1

Try to use display:flex with flex-direction: row :

<div class="button-div foo" align="center">
</div>

CSS:

.foo {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
}

Answer 2

use the css flex property to align your elements in a single line.
