Button submit

[ezeparziale]

Any reason for not having a button element with type="submit"?"

I created a new widget

class Button:
    html_params = staticmethod(html_params)
    validation_attrs = ["required"]

    def __init__(self, input_type=None):
        if input_type is not None:
            self.input_type = input_type

    def __call__(self, field, **kwargs):
        kwargs.setdefault("id", field.id)
        kwargs.setdefault("type", self.input_type)
        flags = getattr(field, "flags", {})
        for k in dir(flags):
            if k in self.validation_attrs and k not in kwargs:
                kwargs[k] = getattr(flags, k)
        return Markup("<button %s>%s</button>" % (self.html_params(name=field.name, **kwargs), field.label.text))

class SubmitButton(Button):
    input_type = "submit"

    def __call__(self, field, **kwargs):
        return super().__call__(field, **kwargs)
    

class SubmitButtonField(BooleanField):
    widget = SubmitButton()

class CreateForm(Form):
    submit = SubmitField("Edit")
    submit_button = SubmitButtonField("Edit")

I think this is simply because submit button became popular more or less recently in the HTML history.

type="submit" is already the (not very great) default for a <button> element...
