    What version of IE are you using to test it?
    Have you tried creating a link to that page without the button?

    It looks like you're using a relative link. It's always best to use absolute links in html so they will always work. Try an absolute link. In other words. put the entire URL in the a href tag. I would give you an example but it won't let me post a "link" even as an example cause I don't have enough posts yet!

    absolute vs. relative is not the problem here. If it works in FF it would work in IE. Check your button tag. See this post for a solution to your problem.

    Try to new IE version and run this file on it. I am sure you are using older version of IE. And you code is not supporting this version.So you need to upgrade your IE.
