Allows programmatic access to the HTML <input type=button>, <input type=submit>, and <input type=reset> elements on the server.

The HtmlInputButton control <input type=button ...runat="server"> renders a push button on an HTML form. The text to be displayed in the button is specified thru its Value attribute.

The HtmlInputButton control is similar in function to the HtmlButton control <button>, except that the latter can target any browser.
