I added the "button" command to my web page links and it looks good on Netscape, but if you click on any of the links using Internet Explorer nothing happens. Why? Thanks,

It's called a browser compatability issues. But, I have no idea how to fix it because I can't see exactly what you have done.
It would be much easier to determine the problem if you would provide a link to the page in question or post the code you are using.

This is the code I use.
<button>SBA</button>We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

You need to "escape" the code somehow so it won't be parsed by the forum. Change the <> to [] and repost the code.

I've never seen that done in that manner. Try this instead:
[button onClick="self.location='http://www.sba.gov/';"]SBA[/button]

Hi pofolks, Michael J, hi everyone
It's probably me, but I don't see any actual buttons on the SBA.gov site.
And one other thing, when I visit the site (yesterday and it happened again moments ago) my Internet browser (IE 5.5) crashes... haven't tried to visit the site with IE 6.0 or 7.0 yet.As for your #4, correct your code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<button>SBA</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>As far as I recall <button></button> is used within a form and requires a predefined type in order to perform a particular action.

Hi pofolks, Michael J, hi everyone
Darn, got trapped by the second stage of submitting my post. Let's try that again including Michael J's suggestion:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<button onClick="self.location='http://www.sba.gov/';">SBA</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>Hopefully it turn's out right this time. :-)
