The code must be evaluated *before* using that new type of link, or saved
to your ~/.emacs. You can simply evaluate it in your `scratch' buffer:
(org-link-set-parameters "button"
:face '(:foreground "green4" :underline t)
:follow (lambda (path) (browse-url path))
:export (lambda (path desc backend)
(when (eq backend 'html)
(format "<form><button
class=\"mybutton\" formaction=\"%s\">%s</button></form>" path desc))))
If you want to pass the class or id 'manually' to each link, and thus
have more control, you can evaluate this other version, where the class
or id would be added at the end of the link description, after (for
example) "!style":
(org-link-set-parameters "button"
:face '(:foreground "green4" :underline t)
:follow (lambda (path) (browse-url path))
:export (lambda (path desc backend)
(when (eq backend 'html)
(let* ((style (if (string-match
"\\(!style .+\\)" desc)
(match-string 1 desc)
""))
(desc (replace-regexp-in-string
style "" desc)))
(format "<form><button %s
formaction=\"%s\">%s</button></form>" style path desc)))))
Example:
[[button:http://www.sambanya.com/artgallery.html][Art Gallery Page Link !style
class="mybutton"]]
== HTML ==>
<p>
<form><button !style class="mybutton"
formaction="http://www.sambanya.com/artgallery.html";>Art Gallery Page Link
</button></form>
</p>

When you evaluate the code and add the new link type 'button', does it
appear in your document with the face defined for that link: green,
underlined? Have you tried testing it on a clean Emacs/Org?
