The ButtonFormInput class represents a button input type in an HTML form. The trailing slash "/" on the ButtonFormInput tag allows it to conform to the XHTML specification.

Here is an example of a ButtonFormInput tag calling a javascript defined within a HTML page:
<input type="button" name="button1" value="Press Me" onclick="test()" />

Here is a sample javascript which displays an alert box with the specified message:

  <head>
  <script language="javascript">
     function test()
     {
        alert("This is a sample script executed with a ButtonFormInput.")
     }
  </script>
  </head>

ButtonFormInput objects generate the following events:
