` itself. So it would look like
` Name on The Button `
Does that help you? That’s how you make a button that acts as a link

Also, I think `a` tags don’t like to be styled if they’re missing the href.
I tested your code in codepen, but my anchor had an href. It worked in FF. I didn’t need to wrap it in extra tags.

The only thing I did differently was add an href (which was actually added automatically because I’m using Emmet for code expansion 😛 ). The css was yours.

If it doesn’t work in FF sometimes there’s a slight difference in browser CSS such as
`-webkit-translate:` and
`-moz-translate`
but I don’t think this is one of those. Maybe check the [Mozilla Developers Network](https://developer.mozilla.org/) and see what they say about buttons. They are a **_Great Resource_** for all things #webdev and it’s all open source

Also, you can shortcut your styles a little 😉 :
```auto
.button {
font: bold 11px Arial;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #eee; /* websafe colors can be shortened to 3 chars */
color: #333;
padding: 2px 6px; /* top/bottom left/right */
border: 1px solid #CCC; /* style everything, then style the special cases */
border-right: 1px solid #333;
border-bottom: 1px solid #333;
}
```

If you use Bootstrap you can do :
```auto
Link Button
```
