I'm starting to learn Angularjs (using angular-material), and I have a little problem using ng-href. I made a Toolbar at the top of my web page, but as soon as I add the "ng-href" attribute to a button, the Text inside the Button isn't centered anymore:
Example Image
The first 2 Buttons have the ng-href tag added. The third one hasn't. Otherwise, they are exactly the same.
angular.module('angular2',['ngRoute','ngMaterial','ngMessages'])
.config(function ($mdThemingProvider,$routeProvider) {
$mdThemingProvider.theme('default')
.primaryPalette('blue')
.accentPalette('blue');
$routeProvider
.when("/", {
templateUrl : "main.html"
})
.when("/test1", {
templateUrl : "test1.html"
})
.when("/test2", {
templateUrl : "test2.html"
})
})
.controller('mainCtrl',function ($scope, $http, $mdDialog) {
})
;.navButton{
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px;
height: inherit;
width: 150px;
border-radius: 0px;
text-transform: none;
border: solid;

Reset to default 0I couldn't get a fiddle to recreate this. But I played with the md-button directive and normally it works fine for this. There is potentially something in your app.css that is conflicting.
When md-button sees an href or ng-href, it will create an <a> tag and put your button content into a <span>. So your
<md-button class="md-primary navButton" ng-href="#/test1">Test 1</md-button>
bees
<a class="md-primary navButton md-button md-ink-ripple"
ng-transclude="" ng-href="#/test1" href="#/test1">
<span class="ng-scope">Test 1</span>
</a>
angular-material.css gives that <a> tag a text-align:center, so check your CSS for something that is changing the attributes of the <span> when it's within <a>.
Here's the Fiddle I was working with but isn't exactly the same as yours: https://jsfiddle/phanxo14/
I kind of managed to fix the Problem:
Instead of using the md-button, that anuglarjs later turned into an <a> tag I copied the <a> tag that angular generated instead and used that one directly:
<a class="md-primary navButton md-button md-ink-ripple" ng-transclude="" ng-href="#/" style="text-align: center; height:inherit" href="#/" layout>
<span class="ng-scope" flex style="text-align: center">Main</span>
</a>
Then I added the "layout" attribute to the surrounding <a> tag and the "flex" attribute to the inner <span>.
I acutally have no idea why this works, but the Text is now centered.
Edit: A Better and much easier fix was actually to just add the layout
and layout-align="center center" attributes to the button.
