Description (last modified by )
Right now the Django Admin has some buttons that are actually link tags with role="button" set, i.e
<a role="button">
We also have anchor elements with
<a href="#" >
that are also acting as buttons. One example is the "Today" button that can be found next to date and time inputs.
We should change these to be proper HTML buttons , and update their CSS so they maintain their existing styling. Below is an example of this kind of button; in the image, the "Add another Release" button is using an anchor element
