This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The spec currently mentions four different types for the <button> element: " Keyword State Brief description submit Submit Button Submits the form. reset Reset Button Resets the form. button Button Does nothing. menu Menu Shows a menu. " I'd suggest to add "cancel" and "confirm" because those two are definitely among the ones used most often on a daily basis and otherwise have to be translated into every language by developers on each and every website.

It would be best to propose that in forum such as discuss.webplatform.org or the public-webapps@w3.org mailing list, or the whatwg@whatwg.org mailing list, then re-open this bug if/when there's new information to add from the outcomes of those discussions.
