Specifies the visual appearance and default behavior of a BUTTON element.
| Inline |
<BUTTON TYPE = 'button' | 'reset' | 'submit'...> |
| Script |
[ sType = ] button.type |
| button |
Creates a Command button. |
| reset |
Creates a Reset button. If it’s in a form, this button resets the fields in the form to their initial values. |
| submit |
Creates a Submit button. If it’s in a form, this button submits the form. |
The property is read-only with a default value of button.
A Submit button has the same default behavior as the button created using the submit type with the INPUT object. When a control in the form ( other than another button ) has the input focus, the Submit button receives a bold border, and the user can "click" the button by pressing the ENTER key. If the Submit button has a name property, the button contributes a name/value pair to the submitted data.
