HTML >> Forms >> <BUTTON ...>

<BUTTON onClick="...">

<BUTTON VALUE="...">

Attribute for <BUTTON ...>
NAME = "text string"

NAME can also be used in scripts. The button can be refered to by using its name as a property of the form. For example, the following code creates a button named go that has blinking text:

<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/mycgi.pl" 
   METHOD=POST 
   NAME="myform">
email: <INPUT NAME="email">
<BUTTON NAME="go" TYPE="submit"><STRONG>Go!</STRONG></BUTTON> 
</FORM>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function blinker()
{
if (document.forms.myform.go.style.color == 'blue')
   document.forms.myform.go.style.color='red';
else
   document.forms.myform.go.style.color='blue';
setTimeout('blinker()',500);
}

blinker()

//-->
</SCRIPT>

which gives us

<BUTTON onClick="...">

<BUTTON VALUE="...">
