Close button
A generic close button for dismissing content like modals and alerts.
Example
Provide an option to dismiss or close a component with .btn-close
. Default styling is limited, but highly customizable. Modify the Sass variables to replace the default background-image
. Be sure to include text for screen readers, as we’ve done with aria-label
.
html
<button type="button" class="btn-close" aria-label="Close"></button>
Disabled state
Disabled close buttons change their opacity
. We’ve also applied pointer-events: none
and user-select: none
to preventing hover and active states from triggering.
html
<button type="button" class="btn-close" disabled aria-label="Close"></button>
Dark variant
Deprecated in v5.3.0
Heads up! As of v5.3.0, the .btn-close-white
class is deprecated. Instead, use data-bs-theme="dark"
to change the color mode of the close button.
Add data-bs-theme="dark"
to the .btn-close
, or to its parent element, to invert the close button. This uses the filter
property to invert the background-image
without overriding its value.
html
<div data-bs-theme="dark">
<button type="button" class="btn-close" aria-label="Close"></button>
<button type="button" class="btn-close" disabled aria-label="Close"></button>
</div>
CSS
Variables
Added in v5.3.0
As part of Bootstrap’s evolving CSS variables approach, close button now uses local CSS variables on .btn-close
for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.
--#{$prefix}btn-close-color: #{$btn-close-color};
--#{$prefix}btn-close-bg: #{ escape-svg($btn-close-bg) };
--#{$prefix}btn-close-opacity: #{$btn-close-opacity};
--#{$prefix}btn-close-hover-opacity: #{$btn-close-hover-opacity};
--#{$prefix}btn-close-focus-shadow: #{$btn-close-focus-shadow};
--#{$prefix}btn-close-focus-opacity: #{$btn-close-focus-opacity};
--#{$prefix}btn-close-disabled-opacity: #{$btn-close-disabled-opacity};
--#{$prefix}btn-close-white-filter: #{$btn-close-white-filter};
