  • 0

Why gmail buttons is “div” tag and not “button” tag?

The gmail button code from chrome firebug:

<div id=":or" class="T-I J-J5-Ji ar7 T-I-ax7 L3 T-I-JO" role="button" tabindex="0" aria-expanded="false" style="-webkit-user-select: none; " aria-haspopup="true">
 <span class="Ykrj7b">More</span>
 <div class="G-asx T-I-J3 J-J5-Ji"></div>
</div>

Thanks in advance,
Yosef

    I would assume its Google going to insane depths over performance, as behind the scenes the button element has one of the longer trips through the WebKit stack.
