The <button> element is used to specify actions that should be performed when the button is activated. Activating a button can be done by clicking it with a mouse pointer, but also by touching it on touch devices, hitting enter or the space bar when it is focussed with the keyboard, with a voice command or with other assistive technology. The actions to be performed are usually written in JavaScript.

The type of an <input> can be “radio” for radio buttons, “checkbox” for checkboxes, “text” for a text input, “number” for numerical inputs and “date” for date pickers, amongst other types.
