Read all words and try to understand them. The message is clear. Also nowdays IMHO validating after w3c is in most of the cases a lost of time. – Ennead

You should provide the relevant HTML in your question. – Ravish

Answer 1

You can try to use a <button> tag.

<button type="button" id="myButton">Click</button>

It is a valid markup for HTML5. If you need this button submit a form you can change the type to submit.

<button type="submit" id="myButton">Click</button>

Answer 2

You must provide a value attribute for your button.

<input type="button" id="myButton" value="Click Here" />

if you don't want to display anything in it then use value=" "
