Why am i ONLY able to use class="btn" inside the < a > attribute and not inside the < button > attribute or the < input > attribute ??
When i put it inside < button > or < input > it works but not the same as for < a > < /a > , the hover doesn't work on < button > or < input > attributes

html:

<tr>
<td><button class="btn" type="submit">Se Connecter</button></td>
<td><a class="btn" href="ajout.php">S'inscrire</a></td>
</tr>

css:

.button{
	position: absolute;
	top: 60%;
	left: 50%;
	transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
}
.btn{
	border: 1px solid #fff;
	padding: 10px 30px;
	color: #fff;
	text-decoration: none;
	transition: 0.6s ease;
}
.btn:hover{
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
}

What I have tried:

I am in a case where i have to use because i need the Submit type;
i tried:

<td><a class="btn"><button  type="submit">Se Connecter</button></a></td>

shows two type of button, the basic and the css-styled one together on top of each other.

Adding your class to a <button> or an <input> works fine for me:

This is a mess:

<td><a class="btn"><button  type="submit">Se Connecter</button></a></td>

because you are taking a button and then inside of a table cell but you are then wrapping a link around the button. From HTML point of view (that's what's in control of the actions) you've given the same rendered object to jobs to do concurrently - and it will pick one, probably the out like element, as the live one.

:hoover is for how a link behaves (I cause them to "light up" in red, on hover. An element will simply ignore attributes that do not apply to it.

I cannot see the rest of your code, but an input button of type="submit" is only useful in a <form> a button element only does something if you give it an event, almost always onclick=

You need to reorganize in your head what you want the button to do and check into how the HTML works (for actions) and CSS (for :hoover).
