<button> element is not supported correctly in HTML::Form module. Button elements are not clickable using the method ->click(). They are not even parsed into an input object due to its type being set to "IgnoreInput" in the %type2class hash.
The default action for <button> should be equivalent to <input type="submit">, at least according to HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 strict DTDs: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-BUTTON http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#dtdentry_xhtml1-strict.dtd_button I could understand ignoring the button for other button types such as type="reset" or type="button", but not "submit" which is default. Is there any particular reason why button elements are not supported? I've attached a patch against the latest /lwp5/lib/HTML/Form.pm CVS version that will add support for clicking <button> elements.
