ToonMariner Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 submit buttons tell teh browser to take teh data entered into teh fields of teh form and pass them through the heasders to the next page. a simple button doesn't DO anything - you add some javscript to it via teh event handlers to perform some task - as js can be turned off it can prove pointless. I don't use ANY input type="button" on any of my sites - they have no place in my dictionary - links can do the same thing as buttons with the added benefit that you can use the href to make sure something gets done if js is turned off (this is predominantley my ajax requests).
