Yeah but that was also implemented as a button, right? input type="submit" would display a button in 1993 AFAIK. No javascript and acted like a hyperlink - but still a button.
- pmontra 2y agoThe most noticeable difference back then (before JS and before CSS) was that browsers displayed very visibly the destination of links, while input buttons were totally opaque. We created buttons with images inside an a href tag to make styled (in photoshop) buttons that behaved like links and generated a GET request. We could add a query string. The only way to make a POST request was a button inside a form.
