You've got it backwards. It *is* a link, so use the correct element
(<a>). Once you have done that, you can worry about what it looks like.
If you want it to look like a button, you can style the anchor
appropriately.

OTTOMH and not tested:

a:link {display: block; width: 8em; height: 1.5em; background-color:
#999999; border-top: 1px solid #CCCCCC; border-right: 1px solid #333333;
border-bottom: 1px solid #333333; border-left: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
text-decoration: none; color: #000000; cursor: default;}

> Users just want buttons instead of hyperlinks.

What makes you think that?
