Can a search engine follow <button> or <input> elements?

问题

I am considering replacing links with such as:

<input type="button" onclick ="window.location.href('http://foo.com')" value="Click me!" />

There was a suggestion that search engines could not follow this kind of link. Does anyone have any knowledge to confirm this.

thanks,

I would say that would be horrible for SEO purposes...

• A button should submit a form, not take you to a new resource.
• Bots have limited knowledge of JavaScript.
• Click me! is terrible link text, unless you want to rank for click and me.

According to pitstopmedia.com,

<button>Some text here</button> – some text goes here will be indexed by search engines.
