Why <input type="button"...? is it essential? Is that button only for aesthetical reason?
Isn't <input type="text" ...etc is enough?

Isn't it enough for what? I don't really understand what you're asking.

Respectively: because I want a button, nope, nope, and nope.

Sorry, my question is not clear enough.
To write an <input type="text" ....
is trying to submit some information through a form to a server.
But why there is a need for a button?
Simply <input type="text" and hit a return the information can also be submitted.
I just don't know why there is a need for a button?
Only for aesthetical reason? For giving people a place to click?
Perhaps, my knowledge for it is incomplete?

- Not everyone knows to hit enter to submit the form.
- As far as I know, it's not 100% guaranteed behaviour that all forms will submit when enter is typed.
- Accessibility issues.
