Where should the submit button be in a form?
Submit buttons are placed at the bottom of the page to optimize top to bottom flow. There should always be two buttons, a primary action button that will commit changes made by the user and a Cancel button that will abort those changes.
Does the submit button go inside the form?
Yes, structurally the submit button needs to be inside a form element for the document to be valid X/HTML. But visually you can position the submit button anywhere you want with appropriate CSS (float, absolute/relative positioning, etc).
Can we put submit button outside form?
For a HTML form element you can put your submit button outside of the form element as long as you have reference the form's id property with the button's form property.
