Warning: Be careful when marking up links with the button role. Buttons are expected to be triggered using the Space key, | |
while links are expected to be triggered through the Enter key. In other words, when links are used to behave like buttons, | |
adding role="button" alone is not sufficient. It will also be necessary to add a key event handler that listens for the | |
Space key in order to be consistent with native buttons. | |
