/**
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 * Render a submit button. The submit tag is used together with the form tag to provide asynchronous form submissions.
 * The submit can have three different types of rendering:
 * <ul>
 * <li>input: renders as html <input type="submit"...></li>
 * <li>image: renders as html <input type="image"...></li>
 * <li>button: renders as html <button type="submit"...></li>
 * </ul>
 * Please note that the button type has advantages by adding the possibility to seperate the submitted value from the
 * text shown on the button face, but has issues with Microsoft Internet Explorer at least up to 6.0
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: javadoc -->
