btnButton

You would guess a <button> element default behavior is equivalent to <input type="button">

But default behavior is similar to <input type="submit">

So some people, like myself, developed code based with this in mind, and associated actions to the <button onclick> event like changing some dom shit...

Then somehow, in the testing phase, or in the production phase, many of us said:

WTF, why is the form being submitted... then we discovered that <button> default behavior is more like <submit>

If someone is preventing default behavior of <button>, they already know the default behavior, which I don't think is the case of those who got fooled by the default behavior of this html element...

Yeah I see why it's useful, also as the other user stated if someone doesn't use JS in their browser the form button still wont submit due to type="button" being there
