a4j:commandButton input vs button

[pkawiak]

Hello!

I was wondering if it would be possible to change the code of commandButton to render instead of . It would make it more 'styling' friendly. As I was searching through the web I've found out that there are differences in interpreting in major browsers (value should be the same as inner text for IE) - is it the reason for commandButton is still input?

Piotr,

I think the main reason for this is compatibility with standard JSF controls. Currently it is not possible to output BUTTON tag as result of a4j:commandButton component rendering. Please file JIRA RFC if you like this feature.
