I can create a select list with this code

Code:
JHTML::_('select.genericlist'.......


Is there an option that will do the same for a submit button ???

Hey spike,

Question is why do you need such a function?
After all JHTML provides an easy way to generate complex html elements but when it comes to a simple submit button why don you just do

Code:
$button_label=JText::_('click me');
$my_button="<button type='submit'>".$button_label."</button>";


If you better explain what you are trying to do?

I think it's because of my limited knowledge of how modules work, as I am building my first after so many years of working with Joomla. I am self taught in every aspect of php, javascript and ajax so everything I do is a learning process.

I have almost finished writing a module that provides chained select boxes for a module position which gathers the data from categories and returns the selected article.

Now i've got the basic function working I am now writing the niceties and one element is the display of the button only when the final select box has been used.

I have tried using the button code as you mentioned and yes, in morning not so tired after thought, you are perfectly right why would I need something with JHTML that is so simple.

Obviously something in my code is not quite right and maybe a mornings deliberation will solve my problem.
