[ http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-420?page=comments#action_10824 ] Walter Rumsby commented on STS-420: -----------------------------------
<button> also gives you some additional flexibility, e.g. you can create an image button using <button type="submit"><img src="..."/></button>. Personally, I would prefer to use <input type="submit"/> but we don't have a mandate from our product management to use default (i.e. unstyled) buttons. This is not a major issue for us, but it would be nice to be able to generate <button> elements with a Stripes tag. > <stripes:button> Should Generate button Elements Rather Than input > type="button" Elements > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STS-420 > URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-420 > Project: Stripes > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Tag Library > Affects Versions: Release 1.4.3 > Reporter: Walter Rumsby > Assigned To: Tim Fennell > Priority: Minor > > The <stripes:button> custom tag generates <input type="button">.
