title: Does any button in a form automatically submit? How do I disable this?
body: <p>I'm trying to have a clear button inside a html form, but it appears to automatically submit.  How do I work around this?</p>
  
  <p>I feel like I am missing something obvious.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you, I have a working answer ... so now I'm just curious.  Is there any reason to use the button element in a form, or any reason not to?</p>
