<button>
The button element represents a clickable control that triggers an action.
Syntax
<button type="button">...</button>Examples
<button type="submit">Save</button>
<button type="button" onclick="open()">Open dialog</button>
Output
Renders two clickable buttons; the first submits its form, the second runs a script.
Notes
Inside a form the default type is "submit"; set type="button" to prevent accidental submission. Prefer <button> over a clickable <div> for built-in keyboard and accessibility support.
