Hey all, is there any official recommendation for which element to use for form submission buttons? Historically, input has been preferred because of button's implementation differences in IE6. Now that IE6 support is becoming less and less of an issue for many websites, that argument is loosing importance and I've actually heard web design schools recommend using buttons instead. The "HTML5" spec doesn't seem to cover this issue at all. The WHAT WG HTML 5 spec's commenting tool uses input (type=button no less!), which indicates a certain preference, but again it's not clear whether this can be regarded as authoritative. Any input? - Alan PS: Yes, that was a horrible pun.
