linkButton vs. link
The HTML elements for buttons and links describe a very specific type of action that is going to be taken when they are used. However, it is important to know when to use one or the other in a specific situation:
- Use links for navigating to other pages.
- Use buttons for performing an action, such as: “submit”, “merge”, “create new”, “upload”, etc. These actions almost always occur on the same page.
