How to style an HTML link like a button?
I have some HTML links and I want to display them as buttons. I spent a few hours appying CSS styles, but never got something that appears identical to a button.
So this is what I’m doing now. It is obvious to read, and seems to work.
<a href="/blah"><input type="button" value="get blah" /></a>
The W3 validator approved it in HTML 4 strict. So, all signs suggest that this is the way to go, but I don’t follow the semantic web conversation very closely.
So, for those of you that do pay attention to all that stuff, what’s bad about this approach?
