Using the input Element to Create Buttons
Description
The submit, reset, and button types of input element create buttons
that are very similar to those created when using the button element.
The input Element Types That Create Buttons are listes as follows.
- submit - Creates a button that submits the form. Additional Attributes: formaction, formenctype, formmethod,formtarget, formnovalidate
- reset - Creates a button that resets the form.
- button - Creates a button that performs no action.
The additional attributes that are available when you use the submit type are the same
as when you use the submit button element.
The reset and button types don't define any additional attributes.
For all three of these input types, the label that is displayed on the button is taken from the value attribute.
Example
