I'm developing a site for the iPhone. Later for android. Now I have some links in that site. To see that it is a link I'd like to style the div-element like a button so that one can see that it is a link and clickable.

Is it better to use div- or button-elements here? Are there any information about which way is a better way?

In android I had the problem that clickable div-elements were not as sensitive as the button-elements. Do you have an idea why?

Thanks for your answers.

EDIT: I decided to use div-elements though I already worked with buttons. You can find the reasonhere.

I don't know anything about Android or iPhone development, but I would always opt for button elements as it was developed exactly to be a styleable clickable button, and trying to make a div clickable can be a real pain. –  Kyle Sevenoaks Nov 10 '10 at 9:19
