James,
The <button> tag is a different element created to allow much more control
over styling and content - you can include markup such as images and styling
in a <button> tag which is not possible with <input type="button">
As for which of the two approaches I prefer - I'd go for <a
href="javascript:foo()"> as the javascript IS the link target, creating an
onclick() handler and putting a fake value in the href attribute is to my
mind misusing the tag.
Alexandre's approach works - however unless you need to dynamically assign
different click event handlers, I think it is better to put the event
handler into the source rather than setting it with jQuery.
Why force the browser to update its DOM with $('p').click(...) once the
page is loaded when you can set it just by coding the tag? It'll slow the
browser slightly as it updates the page after loading, which is cumulative
if you have to do it for many links/tags.
Hope all that info helps!
