BWRS | We've seen all the basics you need to know about for adding a inputs with forms. Traditionally the <input type="button"> tag (together with submit and reset types) was used to create buttons for forms. The buttons created although functional had their limitations (usually grey with black text) But in HTML 4.0 a new way of adding buttons was born The <button> tag was launched To add it just add the HTML as described elsewhere on this tutorial area Here's a simple example <button type="submit">send</button> Okay not too different so far. You must designate what type of button you have (use submit, reset and button) using the type attribute. Note how the simple text becomes the name on the button You can add name and value attributes as before if you want. Now the cool thing is that you can alter the button's label with ease e.g. <button type="submit"> gives rise to You can add images with all the power of the image tag e.g. <button type="submit">
You could even add a table if you were feeling mad enough
This adds more flexibility to your Forms
