I've seen many
Hidden Feature of JavaScript/Python/etcposts but first time seeing an HTML one.And it has been very helpful 👍.
Thank you Claire 🙇
My pleasure! 😊
Any insight as to why that's the default behavior?
Have they historically been first introduced without this attribute, so their only purpose would be to submit the surrounding form with their
valueattribute?Back when I didn't know about this, I also expected the same behavior as you, an inert behavior (thinking that
type="submit"was enough of a no-js solution for forms, since"reset"would also have been available since time immemorial)Just wanted to add my appreciation for such a clean and clear post!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for explain 👍 Could you change W3C HTML specification URL to standard version instead working draft?
html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/for...
also I think it looks good if you quote the following content in the specification:
"The missing value default and invalid value default are the Submit Button state."
Great article! Thank you.
Thanks for the post. I had a button in my Angular app that was causing the form to submit so I added type="button" and it fixed the issue.
Dear Mrs Jones,
