Re: *Next*: button or link

If you are experiencing the same thing I am:

It's because the copy people don't understand that links that look like buttons, visually, actually show up semantically to the screen reader as links.

Dealing with your frustration is one way around the problem. Another is to inform the people who write the copy to not refer to the links that "look" like buttons as buttons in their copy.

I empathize with your frustration. It's a struggle.

Cheers,
David
