Kalle, Roland et al., Thanks for all the suggestions. I don't want to pollute the list much more with this query as I have a cross-browser solution that I'm happy with (CSS applied to the anchor), but during my testing, even if I stopped the event using: onclick="return false;" IE wouldn't navigate to the href indicated by the anchor.

If the button is on a form IE submits the form which is incorrect according to the spec. IE8 may have this right. Need to do what Roland says and stop the event.
