What disadvantages are there to the tag?

by

When using <button> always specify the type, since browsers default to different types.

This will work consistently across all browser:

  • <button type="submit">...</button>
  • <button type="button">...</button>

This way you gain all of <button>‘s goodness, no downsides.
