My button is a button pushed

Filed under CSS, Markup, UI / Usability on September 27th, 2006 | Leave a comment

I sometimes can’t beleive the things that escape me. In the article ‘Push my button‘, Aaron Gustafson discusses the forgotten button tag, kicked, knocked and pushed into obscurity by the ever present input tag.

The functional comparison between <input type="submit" value="Submit"> and <button type="submit">Submit</button> are identical but the button offers way more flexibility in terms of styling with CSS.

The majority of browsers do not force any particular design on the button element, leaving it a raw ingot which we can cast and shape to our liking.

For me, Aaron has helped free my buttons. The article shows some nice tidy ways to get creative with the button, so please, submit to his article and enjoy.
