Trying to get the delete button to show the icon

Question

I'm trying to get the font awesome icon to show in my delete button in my laravel form.

Here is the delete button

{{ Form::submit('<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> Delete', array('class' => 'btn btn-danger', 'role' => 'button')) }}

When you use Form::submit, the content is always escaped. You can use Form::button instead, which does not escape the content.

Your code can be tweaked to:

{{ Form::button('<i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> Delete', ['class' => 'btn btn-danger', 'role' => 'button', 'type' => 'submit']) }}

Also make sure to set type = submit while using Form::button.

Check out my previous answer.

Basicly laravel allows to decode any html with {{HTML::decode(<insert Form button here>) }}

Unfortunately the form builder is always going to escape it's content. Furthermore, the submit input type only supports text content, not HTML. You need to use a button element to display HTML content.

<button class="btn btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i> Delete</button>
