ASP.NET LinkButton without JavaScript

If you use ASP.NET LinkButton controls, the client browser must have JavaScript enabled. If JavsScript is disabled, clicking on the link won't cause a postback. To avoid this scenario, use standard Button controls and style them to look like hyperlinks.

Example:
<asp:Button runat="server" CssClass="HyperlinkButton" Text="Submit" />

CSS:
.HyperlinkButton
{
background: none;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
text-align: left;
}

.HyperlinkButton:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
}

:Hover does not work on button

I thought it did!? If you send me the CSS and HTML for the button, I'll have a look.

Seems to me that hover works on Firefox, but not in Internetexplorer.
I am looking for a way to make the cursor a hand as on a real link, but that doesnt work...
