Advantages of using buttons:
1) Button elements don't need styling, they take their styling from the
user's operating system, which they are, I assume, familiar and
comfortable with. I won't be reinventing the wheel.
Button elements are styled by the browser.
2) Anchor elements don't have a built-in "disabled" mode, buttons
do,
Disabled mode is just more styling.
and again the styling comes directly from the OS and the user is
familiar with it.
Anchor elements are styled by the browser.

Thanks for all the discussion so far. It seems I'll have to re-code.
I will definitely not be using Javascript. It seems entirely logical
to me that there should be such a thing as a button, which can exist
outside a form, which has an HREF attribute or can be wrapped in an
anchor.
Why? All you need do is style the anchor element.
