[SOLVED] HTML CSS: Make Google Icon into Button without Rectangle around it

HTML CSS: Make Google Icon into Button without Rectangle around it

How do I make a Google Icon into a Button? However, do not want a rectangular box around the button. The icon pixels will be a button itself.

.testdelete {
     font-family: Material Icons;
}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">

<span class="testdelete">
 delete
</span>

Link below places a rectangle around button, something don't want.

Solution

Why not use an tag to simulate a button?

$( ".testdelete" ).click(function() {
  $("p").hide();
});

.testdelete {
     font-family: Material Icons;
}

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">



<a class="testdelete">
 delete
</a>

<p class="hi">To be deleted</p>

You can also use <button>tweet</button> and handle the background and border removal with css:

.button {
background: none;
border: none;
color: black;
}
