HTML <button> Tag with the 'formaction' Attribute

<form>
<!-- ...form contents... -->

<button type="submit" formaction="/resources/html-forms-action.cfm">
Submit
</button>

</form>

In the above example we add the formaction attribute to a button control.

About the formaction Attribute

The formaction attribute allows you to specify the URL of the file that will process the control when submitted.

The W3C says:

The action of an element is the value of the element's formaction attribute, if the element is a submit button and has such an attribute, or the value of its form owner's action attribute, if it has one, or else the empty string.

About the <button> Element

The <button> element creates a button control in an HTML document.

Any contents of the <button> element appears on the button.

The <button> element can be associated with a form or stand alone by itself (in such case it could have JavaScript attached via the onclick attribute) to make the button actually do something.
