HTML Buttons & Interaction

Author

Pascual Vila

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

The button element is the core of web interactivity. While links navigate, buttons perform actions.

Type Attribute

The behavior of a button is controlled by its type attribute.

1. submit (default inside forms): Sends form data to the server.
2. reset: Clears all inputs in the form (rarely used now).
3. button: Does nothing by default. Used for JavaScript logic.

Disabled State

The disabled boolean attribute prevents user interaction. It is critical for UI feedback, such as preventing double submissions or waiting for validation.

Button vs Input

An <input type="button" /> is an older way to create buttons. The <button> tag is superior because it can contain nested HTML, like icons or bold text.
