Links are not buttons. Neither are DIVs and SPANs
- DIVs and SPANs are not buttons
- If it navigates, it is a link. Use link markup with a valid hypertext reference
- If it triggers an action, it is a button. Use a BUTTON element
- If you don’t like how a button looks, style it with CSS.

On this note, I'd like to add that a link wrapped in a button doesn't work in IE8 and below. Why would anyone do such a thing? It's an attempt at trying to make a link look like a button (instead of using styling directly on the link element or a containing span). Learned that one the hard way!
