[html-formfu] <input> and <button>

[Ben Vinnerd]

I have just discovered ContentButton - that does the trick :)

    $form->element({
        type       => 'ContentButton',
        field_type => 'Submit',
        name       => 'submit',
        content    => 'Submit',
    });

I can now change the content to an image, or whatever i like :)
