You have three options:

• Style links to look like buttons using CSS.

  Just look at the light blue "tags" under your question.

  It is possible, even to give them a depressed appearance when clicked (using pseudo-classes like :active), without any scripting. Lots of major sites, such as Google, are starting to make buttons out of CSS styles these days anyway, scripting or not.

• Put a separate

  element around each one.

  As you mentioned in the question. Easy and will definitely work without Javascript (or even CSS). But it adds a little extra code which may look untidy.

• Rely on Javascript.

  Which is what you said you didn't want to do.
