Button type “button” vs. “submit”

Question

Is there a difference between a button with type=\"button\" vs type=\"submit\"? Are there functional differences, or is it just a desc

Answer 1

buttons will not submit a form - they don't do anything by default. They're generally used in conjunction with JavaScript as part of an AJAX application.

buttons will submit the form they are in when the user clicks on them, unless you specify otherwise with JavaScript.

when form submit by below code, We should use type=button instead of type=submit to prevent form submit twice.

@using (Html.BeginForm("View", "Controller", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "signupform" }))
        {
         //Form elements
        }
