# Providing a submit button to initiate a change of context

ID: G80

Technology: general

Type: Technique

## When to Use

Content that includes forms.

## Description

The objective of this technique is to provide a mechanism that allows users to explicitly request changes of context. Since the intended use of a submit button is to generate an HTTP request that submits data entered in a form, this is an appropriate control to use for causing a change of context and is a practice that does not create confusion for users.

## Examples

Example 1: A submit button is used for each form that causes a change in context.

## Tests

### Procedure

1. Find all forms in the content
2. For each form, check that it has a submit button

### Expected Results
