Sven Latham: > 'Button' doesn't require a form. This is true! BUTTON is allowed within A |INPUT | SELECT | TEXTAREA | LABEL | BUTTON | FORM | FIELDSET. > Neither does <INPUT....> but at least button is shorter. Huh? INPUT definitely requires a FORM. Aditya Hermawan: > I want to ask what is the meaning and the use of the <BUTTON> tag? What > is the difference between it with <INPUT TYPE="submit">, can it be used Have you read the W3C's HTML 4.0 specs? It states quite clearly the differences between BUTTON and INPUT. Basically, BUTTON has content and INPUT is empty. (e.g. <BUTTON>Some HTML on the button face!<IMG src="abouttime.jpeg"></BUTTON> versus <INPUT>) Read the HTML Specs concerning BUTTON: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#edef-BUTTON ,David Norris World Wide Web - http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1652/ Home Computer - http://illusionary.tzo.cc/ Page via mail - 412039@pager.mirabilis.com ICQ Universal Internet Number - 412039 E-Mail - kg9ae@geocities.com
