My experience is that most people do understand the difference between a link and a button. Also, the fact that it's possible to *obscure* that isn't a good argument in favor of adding more stuff like this. On the contrary, we should educate web designers that it's a bad thing to make something look like a link when it isn't. > ... BR, Julian
