| Demo Subject: | Distinguishable FORM Buttons |
It's easy to confuse buttons when they all look the same. This is especially annoying when you enter data into a long series of form fields in a browser, and then lose it all by accidently pressing Reset instead of Submit. Standard HTML offers just one kind of button. But DHTML allows us to add both color and a rollover effect. In this example, we associate green with Submit (for "go") and red with Reset (for "stop"). Form buttons can be used to initiate other kinds of actions as well, such as navigation, creation of secondary windows, and so on.
