What is the difference between <input type=button/> and <button> </button>?

1. Lol. The difference is NOT about (i) having ending tag or not or (ii) can be styled with CSS or not or (iii) can use bootstrap or not.

2. <input type="button" >

- is the old way of HTML button, it has full compatibility with even the earliest version of browsers.

- if you want to edit the content inside the button, you have to use an attribute value, which is very inconvenient.

3. <button>

- is new way than <input type="button" >,
But still earlier enough to be safe for us to claim it as being fully compatible with browsers.

- the development of button is with <button>
It has attributes such as autofocus, disabled, just to name a few.

Answer 5

sing HTML forms, you can easily take user input. The tag is used to get user input, by adding the form elements. The type attribute is used to add a button inside the tag. The short answer is that button behaves differently in IE6/7 versus other browsers, whereas input button behaves the same in all browsers.
