HTML >> Forms

<OPTION SELECTED>

<BUTTON TYPE="...">

<BUTTON ...>

TYPE: what type of button is this onClick: script to run when the user clicks here NAME: name of this button element VALUE: the value sent with the form

DISABLED: disable this button ACCESSKEY: shortcut key for this button TABINDEX: tab order

<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>	Send It In!

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.

<OPTION SELECTED>
