Mr_J Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi all, www.turboautoclinic.co.za On my product page, I have categories/products in buttons. The button is a hyperlink. When using IE6, when I click the link, nothing happens. So I installed IE8 with the same result. Any special programing necessary for IE and Linking Buttons? I have Win7 installed and running IE9/Firefox. Everything is fine when I test it... <a href="page.html"><input type="button" value="Button 1"></a> Regards, EDIT All pages is .php as I use the date function but the site is HTML based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cssfreakie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 run it through the validator, i am pretty sure this is invalid. http://validator.w3.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderwell Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 this isnt the correct way to use buttons, if you want to use like that, why not use an image instead? a backgrounded bevel image with text overlayed will keep accessibility good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_J Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 run it through the validator, i am pretty sure this is invalid. http://validator.w3.org/ I did run it through the validator but it only returned the ALT tag as not there in the images... So I googled for buttons and I'm now using it as: <button type="button"...>Button Text</button> Only problem, I can't test it... but will ask my client to see if it works! Thanks everyone!!
