Ideally button elements should always specify a type attribute to avoid unexpected behavior, since each browser might implement a different default.
In our app, we do HTML forms inside slide overs. When the user clicks to close a slide over, the form ends up being submitted, given that the close button is inside the form. Setting the button's type prevents this issue.
