Just use a button

A good addition to this article is that most buttons should have type="button" on them. By default, buttons are type="submit", which if contained inside a form will submit that form.

I'm sure there are some devs who reach for a div because they're unaware of the proper way to disable submit behavior.

Believe that default is for <input type="submit">, not <button>.

I seem to recall that once upon a time the default type for a button was in fact "button" but at some point (somewhere in the region of html 5 / es6) it was switched into "submit".
