I'm just wondering if input is part of the HTML5 spec or is button the better way or is there something else even better to use.
<input type="submit" value="submit"/> <button type="submit">submit</button>

- Good link. It's type=submit here, though, so not an exact duplicate.Thilo– Thilo2013-06-06 13:32:37 +00:00Commented Jun 6, 2013 at 13:32

From the MDC docs:
"<button> elements are much easier to style than <input> elements. You can add inner HTML content (think <em>, <strong> or even <img>), and make use of :after and :before pseudo-element to achieve complex rendering while <input> only accepts a text value attribute."

Their difference lies in how you use them. Whilst their basic function is the same the main difference is that you can put HTML in a <button> element.
<button> also is known to have issues in some versions of IE (IE6)

Everything is a problem in IE (IE6) :-)
