Using the <button> Element

Input elements of type button are rendered as simple push buttons, which can then be programmed to control functions on a webpage. The element is implemented using the DOM HTMLButtonElement interface. A button can be used for many things, such as sending or receiving data. They make the web page much more functional for the user.

<button>: The Button element

The <button> HTML element is an interactive element activated by a user with a mouse, keyboard, finger, voice command, or other assistive technology. Once activated, it then performs an action, such as submitting a form or opening a dialog.

By default, HTML buttons are presented in a style resembling the platform the user agent runs on, but you can change buttons' appearance with CSS.
