/**
*  The ButtonFormInput class represents a button input type in an HTML form.
*  The trailing slash "/" on the ButtonFormInput tag allows it to conform to
*  the XHTML specification.
*  
*  
*  Here is an example of a ButtonFormInput tag calling a javascript defined within a HTML page:

*  <input type="button" name="button1" value="Press Me" onclick="test()" />
*
*  

*  Here is a sample javascript which displays an alert box with the specified message:

*  
*  <head>
*  <script language="javascript">
*     function test()
*     {
*        alert("This is a sample script executed with a ButtonFormInput.")
*     }
*  </script>
*  </head>
*   
* 
*  ButtonFormInput objects generate the following events:
*  

*  PropertyChangeEvent
*  
VetoableChangeEvent
*  
*
