BUTTON

This tag allows an image to act as a "button" which, when clicked or passed over (or whatever action you incorporate), will perform that action. Used with the IMG tag to specify the image to be used as the "button". For example:

<BUTTON TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="GetNextPage" onClick>Click here for the next page</BUTTON>

BUTTON Attributes:

ACCESSKEY=" ... "

Assigns a key sequence to the element. That is, a letter is assigned that would activate that object. For example, you could assign the letter "I" to activate a link to the 'Index' page.

CLASS=" ... "

This attribute indicates the style 'class' applicable to the tag to which it has been assigned, the style 'class' being a function of a style sheet. For example, assume the style class 'relaxed' includes text with a font size of 8, and the style class 'active' includes text with a font size of 12. Using the CLASS="relaxed" attribute with a tag will cause the text within that tag to be displayed with a font size of 8. Using the CLASS="active" attribute with a tag will cause the text within that tag to be displayed with a font size of 12.

DISABLED

This attribute will deny access to the input method attached to the button. That is, it will disable the function of the button.

ID=" ... "

The ID attribute is used to assign a unique ID selector (identification) to the tag in which it is invoked. A style may be assigned to that ID, which will effect only that one instance of the attribute.

NAME=" ... "

This tag is used to mark a location within a document with a unique name. This named location can then be quickly moved to by means of a hyperlink using the HREF="#URL" attribute. Note the pound (#) sign before the URL. The pound sign used in this way indicates to the browser that the target location has been defined by the NAME=" ... " attribute.

STYLE=" ... "

Used to specify which style sheet commands to apply to the instance of the STYLE attribute invoked within the tag.

TABINDEX="n"

This attribute defines the 'tabbing order' of the document. For example, assume a document has ten fields, numbered one to ten, which require your input. The first field, with TABINDEX="1", is the active field. Pressing the tab key would move the cursor to TABINDEX="2", regardless of its physical location within the document.

TITLE=" ... "

The TITLE attribute is used to display a note or information in a popup window pertaining to the object to which it was assigned. The popup window is invoked by holding the mouse pointer over the object. TYPE="SUBMIT, RESET or BUTTON"

This attribute defines the type of button created, of which there are three kinds: SUBMIT, RESET, and BUTTON.

VALUE=" ... "

This attribute sets the text to be displayed on the button. That is, it defines the button's label.

This tag also accepts the following Event Handlers: onAfterUpdate onBeforeUpdate onBlur onClick onDblClick onDragStart onFocus onHelp onMouseDown onMouseUp onMouseOver onMouseMove onMouseOut onKeyPress onKeyDown onKeyUp onResize onRowEnter onRowExit onSelectStart
