I found a ultra-easy way to write a multirow HTML button dynamically:
the linefeed (LF) character must be used to set each new row. This
works with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox and probably other
browsers :
text$ = "<input id='btn_CreateProducts' type='submit' value='Create
\nproduct' disabled />"
Send(text$)

....where \n here inserts a LineFeed character.

Putting a carriage return instead of a linefeed only works with
Microsoft Internet Explorer, not Firefox.

Using only a LF (and no CR) works also on Windows, although the normal
"newline" is normally the CR+LF combination on this OS.
