title: MaterializeCss Form input (submit) button
body: <p>I am asking this question because I was faced we this very problem and found little (unconcise) to none information on the matter, here goes:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Having an html form, how to properly set up a submit button with materializecss?</strong></p>
  
  <p>If you try the conventional way, that is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form&gt;
      &lt;div class="file-field input-field"&gt;
          ...
          &lt;input type ="submit" class ="btn waves-effect waves-light" value = "Submit"/&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what you'll get:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Omja9.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Omja9.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>As you can see the clickable part is only the middle of the button, and the rest won't trigger the form submition.</p>
