Creating Link Buttons

This learning report I will report on how to make buttons with only using HTML (no image).

What I Learned

This learnig process of the button has been most interesting and intense! I have first discovered that the Internet Google search can lead you astray with old information. Fortunately with me, I was able to discover through tough times the difference between HTML button with ALL CAPS and the easy 'button' command for xhtml.

To avoid my 'sob story' I was able to learn from w3schools.com that there is a simple command called (button). To make the button active, I jimmy rigged (meaning I don't know if it is the actual thing) I used an anchor command followed by an href to make the button go somewhere. Here is the following code I used for the Home Page Button.

<a href="http://robertbucker.com/index.shtml"><button type="button" accesskey="enter">Home Page</button><a>

Explanation/Examples

Here are some fun buttons that I created. Note, the devil button is like the real devil, it promises a lot, but leaves you with nothing at the end.
