Button vs link

Use a link to go somewhere and a button to do something.

Definition

Use a link to go somewhere and a button to do something. Links change the page address and buttons trigger an action on the current page.

Use case

A Save control should be a button and a Read more control should be a link. Matching the element to the job keeps keyboard and screen reader behavior correct.
