button
-
Default. Creates a Command button.
reset
-
Creates a Reset button. If the button is in a form, it resets the fields in the form to their initial values.
submit
-
Creates a Submit button. If the button is in a form, it submits the form.
Remarks
A Submit button has the same default behavior as a button created by using the submit type with the input object. If the ENTER key is pressed while a user is viewing a form that contains a Submit button, the form is submitted. This default behavior of a Submit button is indicated by a border surrounding the button. The border appears when any control in the form receives the focus, other than another button. If the Submit button has a name property, the button contributes a name/value pair to the submitted data.
