tag? It’s not a paragraph, it’s a button. This means it gets the wrong styles. * I’ve found that the
tag appears because it’s hard coded on line 1577 of [this file here](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.3.1/wp-includes/comment-template.php). * Please could you make it so that the containing
is a default like the rest of the html, and there is an attribute you can set in the array you pass to comment_form(); that allows me to change the html of the button? * Pllleeaaasseeee? Pretty please? Please? It’d make me really really really happy.

I can understand your frustration over the enforced `
` tags but I cannot understand why you think that this would impact the styling of the submit button. * Thread Starter [SamuelTurner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samuelturner/) * (@samuelturner) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-form-submit-button-html-change-request/#post-2583214) * Becausetags get a margin on the bottom, and I want a different margin on the bottom of the button. It can be bodged very easily, but it means adding extra CSS to fix (what I think) is a bug. I’ve done it for now but issues like this need raising, otherwise they go un-noticed. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-form-submit-button-html-change-request/#post-2583215) * > Because

This is exactly what CSS is meant to be used for. As to whether paragraph tags around the submit button can be classed as a bug is, I think, open to opinion. But I do agree that it would be nice to have the option to change this markup via the comment_form() arguments & fields. * Thread Starter [SamuelTurner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samuelturner/) * (@samuelturner) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-form-submit-button-html-change-request/#post-2583218) * I have done for now, but it’s not ideal. * It is a bodge, it’s removing the intended styling from a paragraph so it can contain something other than text? The standard paragraph in my eyes is a block of text with a gap after it, not a button. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-form-submit-button-html-change-request/#post-2583219) * > it’s removing the intended styling from a paragraph so it can contain something > other than text? * Then I’m afraid we’ll have to agree to disagree. A default paragraph tag is no different to a div tag in that it can inherit the default browser style, any default CSS set up on the `p` element or it can be custom styled according to it’s placement within other page elements – such as `.commentform'`. There is absolutely nothing in the W3C specs (HTML or CSS)that mandates only text within paragraph tags.
