Description Cynthia Shelly 2011-08-02 23:36:21 UTC 
<input type=submit> is more semantically correct for a submit button than <button>
Comment 1 Tab Atkins Jr. 2011-08-02 23:48:52 UTC 
I don't understand the objection.  The @type attribute on <button> defaults to "submit" if it's not otherwise specified.  There is absolutely no semantic difference between <button> and <button type=submit>.
