Is it OK to have a link that looks like a button?
This is considered bad practice because it makes it unclear as to the user's intent. Links are supposed to navigate the user to another part of the webpage or an external site. And buttons are supposed to perform a specific action like submitting a form.
What is difference between links and buttons?
There are differences as to when a button should be used rather than a link. UX Movement wrote an article about this, and they came up with a simple rule: Buttons are used for actions that affect the website's front-end or back-end; links are used for navigation and actions that don't affect the website at all.
How do you render a link to a separate part of the same page?
You use the <a> tag, alongside its href attribute, to link to a specific part(s) on the same web page in combination with the id attribute.
How do I remove the space between buttons?
Browsers always add spaces between some elements, including buttons. To remove these, you need to set font-size to zero for their parent container. Then, to restore text size inside buttons, set font-size for them.
