<button> tag?

[Fabian Gut]

Hello

How do I create a <button> tag?

print $q->button(); creates an <input type="button".... tag and

print $q->start_button(); gives an error:

Undefined subroutine CGI::start_button

Best regards
Fabian Gut

I look at the source code for the latest version of CGI.pm and did not
find support for that tag.

You have other options. You can always write your own sub-routine to
create the tags you want, and you can even use a local copy of CGI.pm
and add a subroutine (function) to it so you can use the syntax you
want. It's really pretty easy to do.

Kindest Regards,
