Both `<button type='submit'>Submit<button>` and
`<input type='submit' value='Submit'>` can be used to submit a form.
We have historically[1] used `<input>` because it’s better-supported by
IE6 in that:
- the `submit` attribute is mandatory on `<button>`, not on `<input>`
- the `innerHTML` of a button will be submitted to the server, not the
value (as in other browsers)
Reasons to now use `<button>` instead:
- IE6/7 support is no longer a concern (especially with deprecation of
TLS 1.0 on the way)
- Because an `<input>` element can’t have children, the pseudo-element
hack[2] used to ensure the top edge of the button is clickable doesn’t
work. We’re seeing this bug[3] affect real users in research.
1. We inhereted our buttons from Digital Marketplace, here is me making
that change in their code: 8df7e2e79e (diff-b1420f7b7a25657d849edf90a70ef541)

We have two new pages for live and trial services that:
- are faster loading
- are now linked to
So the list of services doesn’t need to be on the platform admin index
page any more.
There are way too many links in the top nav now (when you’re using the
site as a platform admin).
And how often are you going to look at the letter jobs page really?
This commit adds some internal navigation for the platform admin area of
the platform, copying the style that works for navigating a single
service.
We have a lot of services now. Mostly we want to look at what live
services are doing. So loading up the trial mode services every time
slows things – generating, rendering and using the page – right down.
This commit adds two new pages, one to view only live services, and one
to view trial mode services.
