title: <input type=button> vs <button>
body: <p>I'm a little confused.  What is the difference between these.  Please don't reference really old postings.  I notice that accessing some of the styles are different inline in html as well as in style sheets.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type=button&gt; 
     vs 
  &lt;button&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I guess I'm wondering which one will out live which?
  or which is the best when taking into account ease of compatibility between all the general technologies that go into website creation? aka. which is going to cause the least amount of trouble</p>
