How's that any different from doing it with links, in terms of user
interaction? If you really want to, you can even style a button to
look exactly like a link.
Because some browsers (such as Firefox) and browser accelerators
attempt to
fetch the first few links on a page *before* the user clicks on
them, so that
clicking will be much faster. D'oh! Your acceleration just changed
your
settings. ;-)
Well yeah, that was my point. (I ain't fer it, I'm agin it!) I was
saying that it's just as easy to use buttons to do the same thing
(and make them look like hyperlinks if you must), which avoids the
problems you mentioned.
