If this involves JavaScript then the prognosis is not good. Is this teh 
case?

No: It uses the OnClick attribute to go to another page.  There is no
JavaScript involved.  Thomas

OK, in that case there should be no problem. I'll queue the work. Can 
you give me a pointer to the syntax on this as it seems my books are a 
little out of date :(.

The whole point of the onClick attribute of any HTML element is to accept
content to pass to the browser agent's script engine.

Here is the RFC documenting the button element
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.5
and the "generic" onClick attribute
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#adef-onclick
and the definition of what "script" content is
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-script
