[theme-reviewers] Function submit_button()

[Chip Bennett]

The submit_button() function is flexible enough to handle resetting to
defaults. :)

For example, here's my old code from Oenology (note that I pass a "tab" name
to the button name attribute):

<input name="theme_oenology_options[submit-<?php echo $tab; ?>]"
type="submit" class="button-primary" value="Save Settings" />
<input name="theme_oenology_options[reset-<?php echo $tab; ?>]"
type="submit" class="button-secondary" value="Reset Defaults" />


And here's the replacement code:

<?php submit_button( __( 'Save Settings', 'oenology' ), 'primary',
'theme_oenology_options[submit-' . $tab . ']', false ); ?>
<?php submit_button( __( 'Reset Defaults', 'oenology' ), 'secondary',
'theme_oenology_options[reset-' . $tab . ']', false ); ?>


The rendered output is exactly the same in both cases.

Assuming that your "reset defaults" functionality looks at the NAME
attribute as part of the $_POST data passed to $input, then you're good to
go.
