The button element allows you to create a push button on a web
page. Buttons are primarily used in conjunction with client-side
scripting such as JavaScript to perform an action. Otherwise,
they are pretty useless except for display a prototype of an
interface.
Unline SUBMIT buttons, the BUTTON element will appear on the web
page regardless of whether it is contained within a FORM element or
not.
