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
