Stupid IE won't let my link a <button> --??

Grr. Firefox, Safari and Chrome all do fine with this code; click the button and go to Yahoo. IE just sits there like an idiot.

Is there any way to make this work? My site has all these fantastic CSS-styled buttons that I want to use like this... it's all flawless. Except for stupid IE.

<html><body>

<a href='http://yahoo.com'>
   <button type='button' alt='go to Yahoo'>go to Yahoo</button>
</a>

</body></html>

So there's no way to get my code that I posted to work? (I'd prefer to not use onclick, for other reasons, if possible.)

(For example: I can't add "target='_new'" to a <button> tag...)
