 * How can I make use of the shortcodes buttons to submit html forms?
 * In other words use it instead of <input type=”submit”>
 * Thanks.

 * I believe this should work (haven’t tried it; don’t have a handy form)
 * [su_button onclick=”document.forms[‘myformname’].submit();”] SUBMIT [/su_button]
 * where “myformname” is the ID of the FORM tag.
