People responded to what you asked. You can hardly blame usenauts for
not knowing that you meant to ask something else.

In IE that results in text which has no indication at all that it is
clickable, and so the button is pointless. Welcome to Mystery Meat.
If you're wanting to suppress the hover effect, a better approach is
something like:
input.my_button { background-color: #BBBBBB; }
input.my_button:hover { background-color: #BBBBBB; }
But it's a bad idea to use buttons for navigation anyway (if that was
the original idea) because they are unusable for people without
Javascript.

Meaning what? Ignore people who are trying to achieve usable, accessible
web-pages?
