ParameterDescription
ACCESSKEY=key Specifies an accelerator for the element. Pressing alt-key selects this element in the user's browser.
CLASS=classname Specifies the class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a sub-classed style sheet with the tag.
DATAFLD=colname The column name from the data source object that supplies the bound data.
DATAFORMATAS=HTML | TEXT Indicates whether bound data is plain text or HTML.
DATASRC=#ID Indicates the ID of the data source object that supplies the data that is bound to this element.
DISABLED Used to disable an element. This attribute prevents an element from receiving the focus, and causes the element to appear "grayed out."
ID=value An SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underbar character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position.
LANG=language Specifies which language to use in ISO standard language abbreviation form.
LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT | JSCRIPT | VBS | VBSCRIPT Specifies the language the current script is written in and invokes the proper scripting engine. The default value is JAVASCRIPT.
JAVASCRIPT, JSCRIPT The scripting language is written in JavaScript.
VBS, VBSCRIPT The scripting language is written in VBScript.
STYLE=css1-properties Specifies an in-line style sheet for the tag.
TITLE=text Used to provide advisory information. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a ToolTip during the onmouseover event.
TYPE=BUTTON | RESET | SUBMIT Defines a button that indicates a default for the ENTER key (with a dark border). The possible values are:
BUTTON Command button to be used in a script.
RESET When pressed, this button resets the form's fields to their specified initial values. The label to be displayed on the button may be specified just as for the SUBMIT button.
SUBMIT Submits the form. The default label is application-specific. If a SUBMIT button is pressed in order to submit the form, and that button has a NAME attribute specified, then that button contributes a name/value pair to the submitted data. Otherwise, a SUBMIT button makes no contribution to the submitted data.
event Can be one or more of these events:
onafterupdate onbeforeupdate
onblur onclick
ondblclick ondragstart
onfocus onhelp
onkeydown onkeypress
onkeyup onmousedown
onmousemove onmouseout
onmouseover onmouseup
onresize onrowenter
onrowexit onselectstart

Remarks

You should not include the SELECT, BUTTON, INPUT, or A within the BUTTON tag.

This element is a block element.

Both the start and end tags are required.
