Question

I know this isn’t really how <button> elements are supposed to be used, but is there a way to submit a form using buttons instead of <input type="submit">? I need to have buttons with two lines, and you can’t do that with <input>s, but you can with <button>s.

Some jQuery method or something would work fine, I just hate having to use background images for these buttons.

Answer 1

You can have a button tag submit a form, like so:

<button type="submit"> This will submit! </button>

<button type="button"> This will NOT submit! </button>

Also, I believe the default varies per browser so I think a button tag should always have a type attribute just to be safe.
