What is the standard behavior for when a <button> element is clicked in a form? Will it submit the form?

Question is about tag/element <button>, not <input type=button>.

If the button is within a form, the default behavior is submit.

If the button is not within a form, it will do nothing.

BUT BE AWARE!

Always specify the type attribute for
the button. The default type for
Internet Explorer is button, while
in other browsers (and in the W3C
specification) it is submit.
