Submit buttons

Submit buttons cause the browser to encode the data input and send it to the location specified for the form, for example:

    <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit-b" VALUE="SEND">

A submit button is defined by an INPUT element where TYPE="submit". The optional VALUE attribute can be used to specify the label of the button, otherwise the browser's default submit label will be used.

There may be more than one submit button in a form. The NAME attribute identifies the submit button so that the server can determine which button was pressed if the form includes a number of different ones.
