The name setting adds an internal name to the button so the program that handles the form doesn't confuse the button with the other fields.

The value setting defines what is written on the button.

The align setting defines how the button is aligned.
Valid entries are: TOP, MIDDLE, BOTTOM, RIGHT, LEFT, TEXTTOP, BASELINE, ABSMIDDLE, ABSBOTTOM.
The alignments are explained in the image section.

The tabindex setting defines in which order the different fields should be activated when the visitor clicks the tab key.

<input type="text" size="25" value="Enter your name here!">

</div>
</form>
