Difference between input type button and submit

Today we will learn about  Difference between input type button and submit.

A ‘button’ is just that, a button, to which you can add additional functionality using Javascript. A ‘submit’ input type has the default functionality of submitting the form it’s placed in (though, of course, you can still add additional functionality using Javascript).

<input type=”button” /> buttons will not submit a form – they don’t do anything by default. They’re generally used in conjunction with JavaScript as part of an AJAX application.

<input type=”submit”> buttons will submit the form they are in when the user clicks on them, unless you specify otherwise with JavaScript.
