<BUTTON ...>
creates a button. Unlike <INPUT ...>
,
<BUTTON ...>
is a container which allows you to put regular HTML contents in the button,
including text and pictures. Unfortunately, <BUTTON ...>
does not degrade well, and so
at this time it's best to stick with <INPUT ...>
.
this code |
produces this |
<BUTTON TYPE=SUBMIT>
<IMG SRC="../graphics/sfsmile.gif" HEIGHT=97 WIDTH=105 ALT="Starflower" ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE">
<STRONG>Send It In!</STRONG>
</BUTTON>
|

By default, <BUTTON ...>
creates a plain button, much like
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON>
. With the
TYPE
attribute, <BUTTON ...>
can also create
submit and reset buttons. The HTML code put between <BUTTON ...>
and </BUTTON>
is not the value sent with the form. The value of the button determined by the <INPUT VALUE="...">
attribute.
