Did u go throw this? http://web.archive.org/web/20110721191046/http://particletree.com/features/rediscovering-the-button-element/

Anyways, you would use a input type button for a form element, and button more in general like in the layout. At the end you can have same class. You select it with name not I'd, that's why u use input.
