MaterializeCss Form input (submit) button
<p>I am asking this question because I was faced we this very problem and found little (unconcise) to none information on the matter, here goes:</p>

<p><strong>Having an html form, how to properly set up a submit button with materializecss?</strong></p>

<p>If you try the conventional way, that is:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;form&gt;
    &lt;div class="file-field input-field"&gt;
        ...
        &lt;input type ="submit" class ="btn waves-effect waves-light" value = "Submit"/&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>This is what you'll get:
<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Omja9.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Omja9.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>As you can see the clickable part is only the middle of the button, and the rest won't trigger the form submition.</p>

<p>What i am looking for are  answers (no javascript, just html) that offer alternatives. I'll post my own answer and hope for interesting alternatives.</p>
