<button> element ...A lost tag

Another NN4 legacy

Alas, I found a good use for this element. It doesn't even have to be included inside a <form> to get functionality.

For example:

 <FORM action="http://example.com/example.htm" method="GET">
 </p>
 <BUTTON name="test" value="anything" type="submit" style="width:100; border:none;"><IMG src="http://www.example.com/someimage.jpg" height="50" width="100" alt="a submit button with an image"></BUTTON>
 </p>
</FORM>

Notice that it can be styled, and inside the button tags, you can have content - any html, text, images, whatever.

But NN4 did not support it:DevEdge cross reference [developer.netscape.com]. NN6 does. What a waste. I wonder how many other useful tags from that list are just gone with the wind?

Well, but at least NN4 supported <blink> :)

(In case you're really concerned and worried about my sanity - I'm being sarcastic)
Just thought I'd make that clear ;)

.. even though that doesn't affect whether I'm sane or not ;)
