	Hi I don't know what's the problem with my button but the link isn't working properly. <a href="siteraw.html"><button id="bt"></button></a> Any help is appreciated.

	I tested your code, it works. Do you get an error message? What browser are you using?

	Google Chrome but I also tried with Internet Explorer and I get the same problem.

	Hello, the <button> element cannot be nested within a <a>. Why do you need to do that anyway? Just apply CSS (via the `bt` class I suppose?) directly to the link. You might have to change the display to block as <a> is inline by default.

	Strange as it works under Linux (Debian) with Firefox, Chrome, Opera and even the internal browser of Komodo-edit. With that said, Kim Jong Un's remark is very pertinent.

	It's not because it "works" on some browsers (more permissive on the syntax), that it is valid and thus compatible.

	The documentation is pretty clear on this matter. The Anchor element Permitted parents: Any element that accepts phrasing content, or any element that accepts flow content. You can still do the opposite since <button> allows the inclusion of HTML content (it's why the tag was created after all). <button class="bt"> <a href="siteraw.html">Link</a> </button>

	Thanks! I'll try that method.
