Joseph Schmidt commented on CLK-520:
------------------------------------
> Doubt ActionButton is used much
I use it in almost every page. (also in quite a few pages I have more of them).
An ActionLink is much harder to style to render so that it looks and behaves
like a button.
> however Submit is used for submitting Forms and one of the most used
> controls.
Yes, but because it's an Input, instead of button, it's impossible to add an
icon to it (e.g.
for 'add', 'save', 'edit' etc. icons. Most commercial applications require this
too.)
Also I'm curios why the 80/20 rule doesn't apply here anymore ?
*Most* of the users would benefit if the Button would be really a "button".
> Button should be rendered as "button"

> Button controls should be rendered as "button" HTML elements not as "input".
> The actual implementation seems to use "input" of type "button" but that is
> quite misleading since with
> that type of tag, it's not possible to embed icons or span tags or something
> else(the "button" tag would normally allow) in the button to make it look
> better or what the requirements ask.
> The "input" element seems to have only a "value" attribute.
> E.g. adding an icon before the button text (in the button body) it's a very
> common requirement (so I think it should work as default).
> Button tag also has "type" (e.g. of 'submit', 'cancel' , 'button'), so
> derived controls of class Button would behave as before.
> thanks,
> Joseph.
