Andreas, The behavior I was finding was as follows:
- in FF and Chrome <a href="http://asd";><button>labelText</button></a> would render the anchor as a button (my desired outcome), and when the button was clicked the form was NOT submitted, and the browser navigated to http://asd - in IE <a href="http://asd";><button>labelText</button></a> would render the anchor as a button, and when the button was clicked the form was submitted - I think <but haven't checked> the value labelText was submitted. Perhaps FF and Chrome are not behaving as the W3C spec mandates though it would have suited my purpose. I was basing the approach on a post on the list that I can't find at the moment. I think other posts came up with the same conclusion I have - leave the anchor as is and use CSS to style it.

You're saying that if you have <a ...><button ...></a> and you click on the button that both the form is submitted AND the browser is navigated to the href ??
