"submit" is the default value of the <button> element's type attribute according to the HTML 4.01 and the HTML5 draft specs, so if button_tag is going to have a default, type="submit" is a more sensible choice than type="button". http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-type-BUTTON http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-button-element.html#attr-button-type
As per the HTML 4.01 spec: Buttons created with the BUTTON element function just like buttons created with the INPUT element, but they offer richer rendering possibilities: the BUTTON element may have content. For example, a BUTTON element that contains an image functions like and may resemble an INPUT element whose type is set to "image", but the BUTTON element type allows content. Since rich content is the main purpose of the <button> element, it makes sense for the button_tag helper to accept a block. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-BUTTON http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-button-element.html#the-button-element

The
button_taghelper isn't very helpful at the moment for two reasons:typeattribute to"button", which is unexpected sincetype="submit"is HTML's default for the<button>element; and<button>(instead of<input type="submit">et al) is that you want to include styled text or other elements like images.These two commits fix the implementation, tests and docs for these two issues respectively.
