[twill] Type=button vs. Type=submit

[Mart Doyle]

When I am looking at a form, what is the difference between an item which is
of Type=button vs. Type=submit?  

 

I've been tinkering with Twill the last few days and have been able to use
the "submit" command to logically press buttons and navigate through some
simple web sites.  When I use the showforms command, these buttons are
always listed as type "submit" and they all seem to work fine via the
"submit" command.

 

I just came across a new issue.  On the following form I would like to
logically press the button on "Form #1" named "None".  When I issue the
"submit None" command I receive the error message, 'IgnoreControl instance
has no attribute '_click''

 

What does this mean?  How do I press this button?
