apex:pageBlockButtons

A set of buttons that are styled like standard Salesforce buttons. This component must be a child component of an <apex:pageBlock>.

Note that it is not necessary for the buttons themselves to be direct children of the <apex:pageBlockButtons> component—buttons that are located at any level within an <apex:pageBlockButtons> component are styled appropriately.

This component supports HTML pass-through attributes using the "html-" prefix. Pass-through attributes are attached to the generated <td> tag that contains the buttons. This <td> tag can be at the top or bottom, or both, of the <apex:pageBlock>, depending on the value of the location attribute of the <apex:pageBlockButtons> component.

Example

<!-- For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page
with a valid account record in the URL.
For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the account ID, the resulting URL should be:
https://MyDomain_login_URL/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53
See the Visualforce Developer's Guide Quick Start Tutorial for more information. -->
